The 57-year-old succeeds Matthew Maynard in the county format and Mark Alleyne for the limited-overs tournaments.
The New Zealander signs on a three-year deal after leaving his post as head coach of the Pakistan national side and will take charge of the Welsh county from the 1st of February.
As a player, off-spinner Bradburn played seven Test matches and 11 One Day Internationals for New Zealand between 1990 and 2001 before moving into coaching, becoming the Northern Districts head coach in 2008.
The Kiwi lead them to two Plunket Shield four-day titles and two one-day titles over five years in charge.
Bradburn subsequently took charge of the New Zealand A and U-19 teams between 2013 and 2014, before being named Scotland’s head coach from 2014 to 2018. During the spell, he coached Scotland to a historic first victory against England in a high scoring One Day International in 2018.
Most recently before his stint with Pakistan Bradburn held the role of head of high-performance coaching at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore, before becoming assistant coach with the national side in 2018.
Commenting on his appointment, Bradburn said:
“To have the opportunity to coach Glamorgan is a huge honour and a privilege. I’m excited to join the squad soon to set about the final stages of prep before the 2024 season together.
“My simple aim is to create a winning environment with an awesome culture. Together, we will quickly identify a brand of cricket in all formats that most importantly inspires the players and, in turn, attracts everyone within the club to be excited and proud of our teams.
“With international experience and a passion for developing players and staff, I am really looking forward to immersing myself alongside our Glamorgan network of coaches to develop quality players within our programs. I will bring fresh eyes which I believe will be healthy for the club.
“I’m not taking this role expecting just to compete in the County Championship. I will bring a desire for Glamorgan to be contenders in all formats and am looking forward to meeting everyone at the Club soon.”
Mark Wallace, Glamorgan Director of Cricket added:
“We’re delighted to have a coach of Grant Bradburn’s quality joining us at Glamorgan for the next three years at least.
“He has a wide range of experience as a coach and right across high performance and will add a great amount to the club from top to bottom.”
