Career

edit

Lincoln City

edit

Adams joined the Centre of Excellence at Lincoln City at under-8 level and progressed through the centre to agree a two-year Apprenticeship for Sporting Excellence (ASE) scholarship with the club in May 2008.[1]

Adams was drafted into The Imps squad during the 2008–2009 season. He made 2 appearances in total in his first season at Sincil Bank. His debut came on 18 April 2009 in the 1–0 defeat home against Exeter City.[2] At the end of his scholarship, Adams alongside fellow scholars Kern Miller and Andy Hutchinson agreed a six-month professional contract with the club.[3] In November 2010 he joined Stamford on a month's loan, debuting in the club's 1–0 defeat at Rushall Olympic on 6 November 2011.[4]

Non-League

edit

On 15 December 2010 his contract with the Imps was terminated by mutual consent[5] and he joined Stamford on a permanent basis.

Having secured a new job, he elected to join a club closer to home[6] and linked up with Lincoln Moorlands Railway,[7] debuting in the club's Northern Counties East League 4–3 defeat at home to Scarborough Athletic on 16 February 2011.[8] He opened his goalscoring account for the club with a hat-trick in the following game, an 8–2 away victory over Armthorpe Welfare on 19 February 2011,[9] and went on to net 11 league goals for the club in the 2010–2011 season.[10]

In February 2015, after a spell away from the game due to work commitments, he joined Spalding United.[11]
