Early Career and Signing for Rangers:
Charlie Adam, a Scottish professional footballer born on December 10, 1985, in Dundee, Scotland, began his youth career with his local club, Dundee. Adam's talent as a midfielder was evident from an early age, and Rangers, one of the most successful clubs in Scottish football, signed him in 2003.
Time at Rangers:
Adam's senior career at Rangers began in 2004, where he made a name for himself as a versatile midfielder with an impressive passing range and set-piece abilities. During his time at Rangers, Adam was part of several successful campaigns, including winning the Scottish Premier League title in the 2004-05 season. Other highlights include winning the Scottish Cup in 2008 and the Scottish League Cup in 2008 and 2010.
Adam's performances also garnered individual accolades, such as the Rangers' Young Player of the Year award for the 2006-07 season. His stunning long range goal against Dundee United in January 2007, which set up a 5-0 victory, stands as one of the most memorable moments of his time at Rangers.
Later Career:
Adam left Rangers in 2009 to join English side Blackpool, where he played a crucial role in helping the team achieve promotion to the English Premier League in the 2009-10 season. His performances at Blackpool caught the attention of Liverpool, who signed him in 2011.
Despite a promising start to his Liverpool career, Adam struggled to establish himself as a first-team regular and moved to Stoke City in 2012. He spent seven years at Stoke City, making over 150 appearances and becoming a key player for the team.
In 2019, Adam signed for Reading, but his spell at the club was short-lived as he joined Dundee in 2020. He returned to his boyhood club after nearly two decades, bringing his career full circle.
