[edit] Career
Born in Aberdeen, Adams began his career with his hometown club but failed to make a first-team appearance, moving to English side Burnley, making a couple of league appearances in the mid-1990s before returning to Scotland with Ross County in 1996. Spending two years with The Staggies, Adams joined Motherwell in 1998, spending six years at Fir Park, including a short loan spell with Ayr United. Adams was one of a number of players affected by the club's administration problems, accepting a pay cut in April 2002.[1] Adams failed to win any trophies during his time with Well, although he scored in the 2003-04 Scottish Cup semi-final defeat against Rangers.[2] In 2004, Adams agreed a pre-contract move to hometown club Aberdeen,[3] spending a year at Pittodrie before being transfer-listed[4] and leaving for Livingston in 2005.[5] In 2006, Adams returned to Ross County as player/coach[6] and in November 2007, Adams was appointed player/manager, having served as caretaker manager since October.[7] Despite the terms of Adams' appointment, his last playing appearance remains in October 2007.
