Something of a journeyman within South Africa, Bradfield did play 3 List-A matches for Huntingdonshire^[2] in English county cricket, which was his only spell with an English county. In his 14-year career, he forged a successful, if inconsistent first-class career. He played 93 first-class matches, where he scored 5,412 runs at a batting average of 33.20, with 29 half centuries and 9 centuries. His highest score in first-class cricket was 196. In List-A cricket, he played a total of 75 matches, where he scored 1,757 runs at an average of 24.74. In the process, he made 9 half centuries and a single century high score of 109*. He also took 4 wickets in List-A cricket, at a bowling average of 21.00 apiece.

Toward the end of his career, Twenty20 cricket was introduced, with Bradfield playing a single match in the format for Eastern Cape against Western Province Boland.^[3]
