Bradden Inman (born 10 December 1991) is an Australian-born Scottish under-21 international footballer who is currently playing for Crewe Alexandra.

Playing career

Newcastle United

The Adelaide born footballer moved to England at 14 years of age to link up with the Newcastle United Academy.[1]

Inman progressed with the junior levels at Newcastle United and played regular reserve team football.[2] On two occasions Inman has been named on the substitutes bench for the first team. The first coming against Manchester City for a Premier League fixture in January 2009 and other coming in the League Cup at Peterborough United in September 2009.[1] Inman was released from his contract at the end of the 2012/13 season.

Crewe Alexandra

On 22 November 2012, Inman joined League One outfit Crewe Alexandra on loan until January 2013.[3] The loanee midfielder was named as an unused substitute for the league victory over Crawley Town[4] and FA Cup defeat to Burton Albion.[5] However, Inman made his professional senior debut on 4 December 2012, playing 88 minutes in the Football League Trophy fixture against Doncaster Rovers.[6] On 15 December, Inman scored his first goal for Crewe Alexandra in a 1–0 victory over Bury, and was also named Man of the Match.[7] On 3 January 2013, Inman's loan at Crewe was extended until 11 February.[8] Several weeks later, on 31 January 2013, Inman's loan at Crewe was extended once again until the end of the season.[9]

On 23 August 2013, he signed for Crewe Alexandra in a three year spell for an undisclosed fee, Steve Davis said "He will be a great asset for the club and he deserves great credit for turning down Newcastle's offer and going into the lower leagues to play regular football. I'm sure there are not many 21-year-olds who could turn down a Premier League club for the bigger picture."[10]

In November 2013, Davis made Inman and fellow midfielder Anthony Grant available on loan because he was unhappy with their attitude: "Their attitude has got to be better," Davis told BBC Radio Stoke. "For the moment, for the benefit of the squad, they're better not around it."[11]

International career

Scotland under-19

Although born and raised in Australia, Inman has represented Scotland at youth and under-21 level as he qualifies through his mother.[1] Inman was first selected for the Scotland U19 squad in 2009 and was a regular fixture throughout the 2009/10 season. The midfielder gained seven under-19 caps scoring three goals.[12]

Scotland under-21

During the 2010–11 season, Inman was called up to the Scotland U21 squad. He made his debut as a second half substitute in the 1–1 draw against Sweden U21[13] and made his full debut in the 3–1 victory over Northern Ireland U21.[13]

Australian future

Despite representing Scotland, Inman is still able to play international football at senior level for Australia under FIFA rules on senior allegiance.[14]
