Liverpool loanee Conor Bradley says he has been reassured by manager Jurgen Klopp's efforts to keep in contact with him during his spell at League One outfit Bolton Wanderers.
Bradley joined Ian Evatt's side on a season-long loan back in June and has made the headlines during the early weeks of the season due to his attacking prowess in the Whites' 3-4-3- system, which has seen the 19-year-old defender fire three goals and lay on three assists in his 12 outings so far.
Opening up on his contact with Reds boss Klopp, Bradley said : “I didn’t really speak to him myself before I went out on loan, but I had texts from him, just saying go out and enjoy it, do your best and get as many games as possible.

“We’ve got a group for all the loanees and he texts into it when I get an assist or I score or have played well."
Bradley continued: “He and the coaches are always texting in, wishing us all the best for the games and saying well done if I score.
“That’s been massive that they’re still keeping in contact and want to know how I’m doing and settling in. It’s reassuring to know they are still thinking of you and Liverpool have been great that way.”
The teenager is in international action over the next week and will be hoping to catch Klopp's eye after being called up to Ian Baraclough's senior Northern Ireland squad for the Nations League fixtures against Kosovo and Greece.
Bradley, who already has eight caps for his country, is hoping he can continue his stellar form at club level this season for the back-to-back international clashes, starting with Saturday's visit of Kosovo to Windsor Park.
“That’s the way the gaffer wants us to play at Bolton,” he said. “He wants the wing-backs creating and getting in the box. I’ve managed to tuck away some chances, so I’ve been loving it so far.
“If we play wing-backs with Northern Ireland, it’ll be good for me because I’ve played that all season and Ian Baraclough likes to play in quite similar way to the way we do at Bolton.”
