Playing career
[edit]Bury
[edit]
Adams was born in Bolton, Greater Manchester.[2] Adams progressed through the Youth and Centre of Excellence system at Bury and shot to fame with a debut goal against Darlington as he made his first-team debut in a 1–0 home win in October 2005.[4] After the match, Adams debut performance was praised by Chris Casper saying "I'm made up for young Nicky Adams, as he has really worked hard on his game, he's run himself into the ground for the team, and he took the goal well."[5][6] Adams earned more playing time in the first team at Bury.[citation needed] The next season, Adams scored his second goal with an unstoppable shot from 35 yards in a 3–0 win over Grimsby Town on 26 August 2006. After the match, Adams spoke out about the goal, saying "It wasn't bad for a tap in".[7] At the end of the season, Adams signed a new contract.[8] The next season, Adams was soon on a goalscoring form, unlike his two season at Bury, and scored twelve goals this season, including his first brace in a 3–0 win over Barnet on 3 November 2007. After the match, Adams was named man of the match and was praised by Casper.[9] At the end of the season, Adams won the Young player of the year, having received the most votes.[10] Having won the Young player of the year, Adams was offered a new deal to stay at Bury[11] but in June, Adams turned down a deal.
Leicester City
[edit]Adams joined Leicester City for an initial £100,000 which could rise to £225,000,[12] a deal which was completed on 1 July 2008, with the player signing a three-year contract.[citation needed] Three months after joining Leicester City, the club was ordered to pay £100,000 for Adams, after both parties failed to agree a fee[13] He became Nigel Pearson's third signing of that day after Michael Morrison and Lloyd Dyer.[14] Adams made his debut in a League Cup match against Stockport on 12 August 2008, in which Leicester won 1–0.[15] His league debut came in a 3–1 win over Tranmere Rovers on 23 August.[16] On 2 September 2008, Adams scored his first goal in a Football League Trophy, as Leicester City beat Hartlepool United.[citation needed] Soon after, his playing time at Leicester City is soon reduced and need to join a club on loan to get regular first-team football.[citation needed] The next season, Adams forms at Leicester City didn't produced well, like he did at Bury, as he used more often on the bench.[citation needed] But in the second round of a League Cup, Adams scored his first goal of the season in a 2–1 loss against Preston North End.[citation needed]
Loans

The following season, Adams continued to be in the first team.[citation needed] On 10 September 2011, Adams scored his first goal but was soon sent-off after a second bookable offence, in a 4–2 win against his former club Bury, followed his second on 19 November 2011, in a 1–0 win over Preston.[30] He since scored against Charlton[31] and Exeter City.[32] However, Rochdale ware relegated to League Two after two seasons in League One.[33] Just before the season ended, Adams was placed on a transfer list.[34]
