Bradley Barritt (born 7 August 1986) is a South African-born English rugby union player who plays for Saracens in the Aviva Premiership. He plays the position of Centre and can cover Flanker. Barritt attended Kearsney College where he was a College Prefect in Pembroke House during 2004 and captained the 1st XV in 2004.
During his debut season in the 2006 Currie Cup and Super 14 season for the Sharks and Sharks. He debuted in the Super 14 season in 2006.
He had the ability to play fly half (before Saracens) (although in a rather ad-hoc capacity) and did so to great effect in the 2006 Currie Cup season when perennially injured provincial team-mate Butch James was absent from the squad. However, due to the emergence of Francois Steyn at the coastal franchise, Barritt's opportunity to play fly-half was curtailed, leading to a him finding a more settled role as the Sharks' first-choice inside-centre.
Barritt played in the 2007 Super 14 Final, losing by a solitary point to the Bulls.
Barritt signed for the English Premiership side Saracens, and joined them after winning the 2008 Currie Cup competition.
Due to injuries, Barritt was recalled to play in a 2009 Super 14 fixture against the Waratahs, his final game for the Sharks.
