Profile:
Adam joined Accrington in 1995 and worked his way through all the senior sides to establish himself as the First Team's regular wicketkeeper in 2002. Putting aside the disappointment of twice missing out on cup final appearances in his younger days, Adam worked hard on his all round game to improve both his wicketkeeping and his batting. Adam is now capable of scoring useful runs down the order and is a reliable pair of hands behind the sticks. In 2001 Adam won the Les and Margaret Martin Trophy for Best Wicketkeeper, claiming 39 victims (28c, 11 st) in a total of 34 matches for the first, second and third teams.
