Adam started his playing career at Union Mills before transferring to St George’s at senior level. He also represented Ballakermeen High School during his time there.

Adam trained within the Isle of Man Football Association Centre of Excellence programme from the under 11 group through to the under 18 squad and represented the Isle of Man under 18 team, participating in lots of off-island matches during this time. Adam also attended an IOM Sports Institute Strength and Conditioning Programme to support his physical development.

Congratulations to Adam and his family. What an inspiration!
