Biography

Adam began his career at Cardiff City. After making his way through the youth side, he signed a professional contract in January 2009. He went on to make his senior debut at the start of the 2009/10 season when he replaced Paul Quinn during a 1–1 draw with Blackpool in August, scoring his first goal for the Bluebirds two months later.

Adam’s performances during his first season also saw him named as the Football League Apprentice of the Year for the Championship.

The right-back joined Celtic in July 2011, making an impressive debut in a 1–0 win over Aberdeen, and his European debut came against Atletico Madrid in September of that year.

Adam went on to score five goals in 150 appearances for the Glasgow club in all competitions, in four seasons at Celtic Park, collecting four league medals and one Scottish Cup.

The Welshman then moved to Sunderland in the summer of 2015 but struggled to regain a place in the first team after suffering an ankle injury, spending one season on loan at Bristol City.

Adam signed for Charlton Athletic in 2019, who were relegated to League One in 2020, making 89 appearances. In the Summer of 2022, he joined Omonia FC, reuniting with his former manager at Celtic, Neil Lennon.
