In the 2004 Championship, he was third top scorer in the country with a total of 2-38 (44), once again more than any other Ulster player. He was second top scorer in the 2005 Championship, where he amassed a total of 2-29 (35), despite having played almost half the amount of games as top scorer Stephen O'Neill. Despite Derry's lack of progress in the 2006 All-Ireland Bradley again finished the season as top scorer in Ulster with a total of 2-20 (26), only bettered by five players in all of Ireland, most of whom played more games.
