Club career
Locko was born in Ivry-sur-Seine, Val-de-Marne,[4] and went through several football academies in Paris suburbs, including CA Vitry and US Ivry, before spending some years in Montrouge, from where he joined FC Lorient in 2019.[5]
Bradley signed his first professional contract with Stade de Reims in June 2020, spending his first year in Champagne with the National 2 reserve team.[5][6][7][8]
He made his professional debut for Reims on 15 August 2021, starting the Ligue 1 3–3 home draw against Montpelier as a left-back.[7][9] His performance was viewed as promising one, among a fairly young Reims team, with the likes of Ilan Kebbal and Hugo Ekitike.[10]
On 31 January 2023, Locko joined Brest on loan with an option to buy.[11] Later that year, on 27 July, Brest announced the permanent signing of Locko on a four-year contract,[12] for a reported fee of €500,000.[13] Later on, he was named in the Team of the Year for the 2023–24 season,[14] as his club secured a third-place finish in the league and first ever qualification to the UEFA Champions League.[15]
International career
On 8 July 2024, Locko was selected by manager Thierry Henry to represent France at the 2024 Olympic Games.[16] He was a late substitute in the final, as France lost 5–3 to Spain.[17][18][19]
