Brad Lyons, born on 26 May 1997 (age 29), is a Northern Ireland midfielder with Aberdeen, where he wears number 8 and works mainly through the centre of the pitch.
His early senior grounding included a useful spell at Coleraine, where the 2016-2017 league season remains his most productive: five goals in 24 appearances. That sort of return from midfield did him no harm, though his game has since settled more into the hard-running, functional side of the job than anything especially ornamental.
By 2025-2026, Lyons was still a regular first-team presence for Aberdeen. He made 31 league appearances, scoring once, and added two League Cup outings with one goal, plus one Scottish Cup appearance. Across all competitions for Aberdeen that season, he stood at 34 appearances and two goals.
He also remained in the Northern Ireland picture, making two appearances in European World Cup qualifying during the same campaign. His career has been built steadily rather than noisily: early promise at Coleraine, a settled role in Scottish football, and continued relevance at club and international level.
