Bradanovich was born in Auckland and attended Sacred Heart College.[1]
An attacking first five-eighth, Bradanovich toured Australia with a New Zealand Universities representative side in 1927 and the following year was called up by the All Blacks for home fixtures against New South Wales, contributing 19 points from two matches as the designated goal–kicker. This included four penalty goals in the opening match of the series, to help New Zealand secure a 15–12 win. A knee injury kept him out of the third and final match. He also represented Auckland, Otago and the South Island.[2][3]
Bradanovich was a dentist by profession.[1]
