# Adam Senior

Adam Nicholas Senior (born 20 January 2002) is an English professional football player as a defender for FC Halifax Town. He can play at both a centre-back and right-back.

## Career

Born in Bolton, Senior joined the youth academy of hometown club Bolton Wanderers, the club he grew up supporting. On 31 August 2019, following major financial troubles that had forced the club to utilise youth players, Senior made his first team debut in a 5–0 away loss against Gillingham. He signed his first professional deal with Bolton Wanderers on 15 May 2020, penning a one-year deal. He scored his first goal on 6 October in a 2–1 defeat against Shrewsbury Town in the EFL Trophy. On 19 May 2021 Bolton revealed he was contracted for the 2021–2022 season.
On 1 October 2021, he joined Ashton United on loan for a month. He made his debut a day later, starting in a 1–0 defeat to Warrington Town. He scored his first goal for Ashton on 9 October, earning a point for them in a 1–1 draw against Gainsborough Trinity. The loan was extended for a month on 3 November. A week later however, Bolton recalled him from his loan and sent him on loan to York City for a month instead. He made his debut a day later, helping York get a clean sheet in a 0–0 draw against Curzon Ashton. He was recalled from the loan on 9 December and started the next Bolton match two days later in a 1–0 loss against Accrington Stanley. On 25 January 2022, he joined Chorley on loan until the end of the season. He made his debut the same day and was named Man of the Match in a 2–2 draw against Fylde. On 3 March, he was recalled from his loan to provide extra defensive competition due to the absence of Gethin Jones. On 3 May the club confirmed that they had offered him a new contract which he signed on 14 June. On 8 November 2022, he joined Telford United on loan for a month. On 13 December, it was extended until 2 January. He impressed during this loan spell, playing a total of 9 times, with Telford wanting to extend it even further — though Bolton instead decided to recall him. Two weeks later, he joined National League side Halifax Town on a month's loan which was later extended for another month and then extended again to the end of the season. On 25 May 2023, he was announced as one of five B Team releases. Two weeks later, it was announced he would join Halifax on a permanent two year contract on 1 July.
