Brad Lyons, born on 26 May 1997 (age 29), is a Northern Irish centre midfielder with Aberdeen, wearing squad number eight. His most productive league season came early, at Coleraine in 2016-17, when he scored five goals in 24 appearances – a useful return for a midfielder still building his senior career.
That Coleraine campaign remains the clearest marker of his early development: regular minutes, a bit of end product, and the sort of grounding that tends to matter more than the usual noise around young players. Lyons has since worked his way into Scottish football, where his game has been shaped more by reliability than show.
At Aberdeen in 2026-27, he has made one league appearance, four League Cup appearances with one goal, and one Scottish Cup appearance. Across all competitions for the club that season, he has six appearances and one goal. He has also been involved with Northern Ireland, making two appearances in European World Cup qualifying.
Lyons’ career has been a steady one: developed through senior football at Coleraine, moved into the Scottish game, and now part of Aberdeen’s midfield group while also remaining in the Northern Ireland picture.
