Playing career

Adams started his professional career with Aberdeen, but failed to make a first-team appearance. He moved to English side Burnley, making a couple of league appearances in the mid 1990s before returning to Scotland with Ross County in 1996.

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]

Coaching career

In 2006, Adams returned to Ross County as player–coach.[6] In November 2007, Adams was promoted to the role of player–manager, having served as caretaker manager since October.[7] Despite the terms of Adams' appointment, his last playing appearance was in October 2007. He led Ross County to the Scottish Second Division championship in 2008, earning promotion to the First Division. Adams then led Ross County to the 2010 Scottish Cup Final, causing upset victories over SPL sides Hibernian and Celtic.[8] County lost 3–0 to Dundee United in the Final.[9]

Adams left Ross County on 11 November 2010 to join Hibernian as assistant manager to Colin Calderwood.[10] Adams has had several disciplinary cases considered by the Scottish Football Association during his coaching career.[11] At one point he was due to be banned for 18 matches,[12] but he won an appeal against part of the suspension.[13] Adams was then suspended for a further six matches, a sanction which Hibs have appealed against.[14] While this appeal was ongoing, Adams described the whole disciplinary process as distressing.[15]

Adams left Hibernian on 19 May 2011 to return to Ross County as manager.[16]
