Career
First stations
Reading-born Liam Bridcutt attended Chelsea FC's youth academy before signing his first professional contract in the summer of 2007. He played his first professional career on February 9, 2008 on loan for third division Yeovil Town in a 2-0 defeat at FC Walsall . In the Football League Championship 2008/09 , he completed six league games on loan for Watford FC . In the 2009/10 season , 15 league appearances followed as a loan player at the third division Stockport County .
Brighton & Hove Albion
On August 28, 2010, the free 21-year-old Bridcutt moved to the third division Brighton & Hove Albion . For his new team he scored two goals in 37 games in Football League One 2010/11 and won the third division championship with Brighton. Also in the Football League Championship 2011/12 Bridcutt acted as a regular in the midfield of his team and missed only three league games. In 2012/13 the club moved into the play-offs as fourth in the table, but failed there prematurely with 0-0 and 0-2 at the later promoted Crystal Palace .
Sunderland AFC and Leeds United
On January 31, 2014 Liam Bridcutt signed a three and a half year contract with the first division AFC Sunderland and left Brighton after three and a half successful years. By the end of the Premier League 2013/14 season , he played twelve games for the club coached by his ex-coach from Brighton Gus Poyet . In 2014/15 he increased his stakes to 18 games. After he was not considered among the successors of Poyet, who was released in March 2015, Dick Advocaat and Sam Allardyce , Liam Bridcutt switched to Leeds United on November 26, 2015 on loan . For his new team, he completed 24 league games for the table thirteenth by the end of the 2015/16 Football League Championship .
In mid-August 2016, the second division announced the commitment of Bridcutt on a firm contract basis and equipped him with a two-year contract. The defensive midfielder, who had meanwhile been appointed team captain, broke his foot in mid-September 2016 and had to take a three-month break before he made his comeback in the EFL Championship 2016/17 on December 13, 2016 and made 25 league appearances by the end of the season . The team coached by Garry Monk spent a large part of the season on a play-off place, but ultimately missed out on the promotion round as seventh in the table.
Nottingham Forest
On August 22, 2017, Bridcutt moved to league rivals Nottingham Forest and signed a contract valid until 2020.
National team
On March 19, 2013 Liam Bridcutt was appointed to the squad of the Scottish national team for the first time . He is eligible to play for this because his grandfather was from Edinburgh . A week later, he made his debut in qualifying for the 2014 World Cup in a 2-0 defeat in Novi Sad by the Serbian national team .
