BRADLEY WILSON-DEAN was born on the 26th October 1994 in New Zealand and has been racing motorcycles all his life. He started out in motocross at age 4 and won multiple provincial and national titles before making the switch to speedway at the age of 12. He started to win meetings in speedway as soon as he began racing competitively, starting with the Hawkes Bay Junior Championship in 2007. He would go on to lift the title again the following season as well as finishing a creditable second in the New Zealand Junior Championships and also becoming the East Coast Champion.

The 2009 season would see Bradley finish second in the East Coast Championship even though he was racing with a broken wrist which he sustained 5 days prior. He would also finish second in the Senior Hawkes Bay Championships and become the Meeanee Speedway Clubs "most improved rider". In the off-season Bradley travelled to the USA to gain experience and rode to first place in five main events and second place in another three main events as promoters started to pay attention to the youngster across Europe, later that year he also took part in a training school at Broadford Speedway in Australia under the guidance of Travis McGowan.

He went on to record endless victories during the 2010/2011 season as well as fifth overall in the senior New Zealand Championships and a creditable third place in the Under-21 Championships. He continued his education in Europe by competing in the World Under-17 250cc Championships where he would finish in fourth place.

Bradley then won the first of his two Under-21 New Zealand Championships in the 2013/2014 season and finished as the highest points scorer in the New Zealand league helping the Auckland Rhinos to the league title. He knew though to make the big time break in speedway he needed to be racing in Europe on a regular basis, so in 2014 he set off to Germany where he would base himself for 3 months and participate in practices and open meetings in countries such as Slovenia, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Croatia, Germany, Poland, and Austria. But it wasn't until the year after that he would made his big break into the international speedway scene by signing for the famous Eastbourne Eagles at the start of the 2015 season. He would make an immediate impression by scoring double figures in his opening meeting, and winning the Championship of Sussex. He has since doubled his assessed 5.00 average and sits 2nd in the British National League averages with an impressive 10.00 average
