We’re delighted to announce the pre-contract signing of Dutch winger Bradly van Hoeven, subject to usual SFA and International approvals.

The 26-year-old will officially join the club from Polish Ekstraklasa side Motor Lublin later this week, signing a two-year deal with the club, with the option of a further year and will wear the number 19 shirt.

A former Netherlands Under-19 international, Bradly is a left-footed winger capable of playing on either flank and arrives in West Lothian with experience across the Netherlands and Poland.

Having come through the youth academy at Sparta Rotterdam, Bradly began his senior career with the Dutch club before enjoying loan spells with Go Ahead Eagles and Almere City. He later made a permanent move to Almere City before going on to represent TOP Oss and, most recently, Polish top-flight side Motor Lublin. Throughout his career he has built a reputation as a direct, attack-minded winger, contributing goals and assists across a number of competitive leagues.

Bradly was identified through the club’s data analytical recruitment platform, where he consistently ranked among the highest-performing wide players based on his output across the most recent season and the previous three campaigns prior.

Following his initial identification, the club’s recruitment department carried out an extended data analysis to compare Bradly’s profile against the club’s current wide attacking options, and those in the top two tiers of Scottish football. The results showed he ranked exceptionally highly across a range of key performance metrics, reinforcing the club’s belief that he has the attributes to make a significant impact in West Lothian.

Welcome to West Lothian, Bradly!
