Career

After playing youth football for Oldham Athletic and Bradford City, Adams returned to Oldham in July 2019.[3][4] In January 2020 he joined Chorley on loan.[5] On 2 March 2020, he joined Hyde United on a one-month loan.[6] He was released by Oldham at the end of the 2019–20 season.[7]

On 4 September 2020, Adams signed for Clitheroe after playing for the club as a trialist.[8] He extended his contract with the club in January 2021.[9]

In August 2021, he signed for Macclesfield.[10]

Adams joined Marine in March 2022, the first time since 1995 that the club had paid a transfer fee for a player.[11] The undisclosed transfer fee was the highest that Macclesfield had received for a player.[12] He moved on loan to Ashton United in November 2022,[13] before the transfer was made permanent in December.[14][15]

He returned to Macclesfield in July 2024.[16] He left the club in September 2024,[17] next playing for Emley,[18] before signing for Atherton Collieries in October 2024.[19] He scored his first goals for the club on 2 November 2024, scoring twice in a 4–3 defeat.[20][21]
