Bradley Wade joins the Staggies
01/07/2026
Ross County Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of goalkeeper Bradley Wade!
The 25-year-old shot stopper will join the Staggies following the expiration of his contract with Ballymena United.
Englishman Wade rose through the ranks with Rochdale, spending time on loan at Guiseley and Barrow, before making a permanent move into the National League set-up with Hereford Town.
Wade then made the move across to Ireland with Cork City, where he had a hugely successful season, making 34 appearances while keeping an astounding 20 clean sheets. That fine form also saw him named in the PFAI First Division Team of the Year.
Bradley has also had spells with Waterford and, most recently, Ballymena United in Northern Ireland.
On the signing of the stopper, Manager Stuart Kettlewell said: “Brad is still young, especially for a goalkeeper, and brings a strong level of experience with the number of games he has played at a senior level already.
“His time at Cork City was particularly impressive, and for such a young goalkeeper to have had such a big impact on a promotion-winning side is a credit to his ability and mentality.
“He joins what is already an excellent group with Brad Foster and Jayden Reid, and working alongside Scott Thomson, I feel the addition makes us really strong and competitive in the goalkeeping department.
“I'm looking forward to Bradley showing us what he can do, and I’m pleased to have him signing here.”
*Move subject to SFA Approval upon expiry of contract.*
