### HTU

2016–18
Adams initially featured for Spencer Carmichael-Brown's Spencer FC in early 2016, prior to remaining with Spencer as he started HTU. He began with three goals in two matches against Dream Team, having netted in a Divisions match initially before scoring twice in a friendly match-up soon after. Eight goals, including braces versus Vauxhall and Football Manager, in six games followed. Adams then scored five goals in a 19–1 demoliton of a Comedians XI team. In 2016, he won *Most Assists* (16) and *Fans' Player of the Year* at the Hashtag United Awards.

Adams scored a hat-trick for HTU in their penultimate Divisions match against Pitchero United in 2017, a year that also saw him score the opening goal of a 6–1 win in the Wembley Cup final versus Tekkers Town and win the *Most Assists Award* (16) for the second straight year. Adams didn't score in his last eight appearances of chapter one.

2018–19
Adams was retained by new manager Jay Devereux ahead of HTU's move into non-league football. He scored the club's first unofficial goal of chapter two after netting in a pre-season loss at the Webbswood Stadium against Swindon Supermarine on 7 July. Adams also appeared in *The Tags'* first competition non-league match on 4 August as HTU lost away to Little Oakley. His first official goal for HTU arrived on 8 September during a four-goal victory away to Burnham Ramblers. Adams scored a further 10 goals in his first season of non-league with the club, as they won promotion from the Thurlow Nunn League - Division One South to the Essex Senior League.

2019–20
Adams would find goals harder to come by in his second campaign of non-league football, as the forward failed to score in 24 out of 26 appearances of 2019–20 - only netting in cup matches away to Halstead Town and Sawbridgeworth Town in September and November respectively. However, he had started to feature at full-back more often. On 7 September, HTU announced that Adams had left the club to join Maidenhead Town after netting 50 goals in over 122 appearances.
