Bradley James Orr (born November 1, 1982 in Liverpool, Merseyside) is an English defender/ Midfielder currently playing for Bristol City F.C. He has played for the club since July 2004, joining on a free transfer from Newcastle United.
Orr has also played for Burnley on loan from Newcastle.
Orr scored his first Bristol City goal against Yeovil Town. Although he was signed as a central midfielder he was converted to right-back in 2005/2006 and has played most of his recent games in that position.
On 29 August 2006 Orr was sent off for attempting to head-butt his own teammate, Louis Carey, during a game against Northampton Town.
On 1 September 2006 Orr was sentenced to 28 days in jail relating to an incident outside the popular Bristol nightclub 'Romeo Browns' the previous October. Also jailed in relation to the same incident were fellow teammates Steve Brooker for 28 days, and David Partridge for 2 months. Orr and Brooker were released on September 14 2006, serving only half of their original sentence. He scored against Manchester City in the Carling Cup second round.
He was named in the PFA's Championship team of the season 2007/08.
According to media sources, he broke his cheekbone in the play-off final against Hull City.
