Adam left the club in 2015 when he joined Sunderland, staying with the black cats for four years before joining Charlton Athletic. His next stop was sunny Cyprus in 2022 where he linked up with former boss Neil Lennon at Omonia, enjoying a decent two year spell which included a Cypriot cup win in 2023.

Adam is now back on these shores, and Ireland is his destination, where he will represent the green and white hoops of Shamrock Rovers. Best of luck Adam.
