While studying at Oxford, he played first-class cricket for Oxford University in 1890, making his debut against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Oxford. He made five further first-class appearances for Oxford in 1890,[3] scoring 178 runs at an average of 19.77, and with a highest score of 40 not out.[4] After graduating from Oxford in 1891, he became a schoolmaster at Rugby School in 1892. During his tenure at Rugby, Bradby wrote a number of books about the school.[2] During the First World War, he wrote the poem April 1918.[5]
Bradby died in June 1947 at Ringshall, Hertfordshire.
