Adam Rachel (born December 10, 1976 in Birmingham ) is a former English football goalkeeper.
Career
Rachel is from Aston Villa's youth division and received his first professional contract in May 1995. After regular goalkeeper Mark Bosnich failed for a long time in the 1998/99 season, Rachel moved up behind Michael Oakes to the substitute goalkeeper and was regularly on the matchday squad as a substitute keeper for several months. To his debut in the Premier League , at the same time his only competitive appearance for Aston Villa, he came on December 26, 1998 against Blackburn Rovers , when he replaced the sent off Oakes in the last 30 minutes. With the engagement of Peter Enckelman in February 1999 Rachel, who compensated for his rather small body height of 180 cm for a goalkeeper by his mobility, lost his place in the team again and was only used in the reserve team.
In September 1999 he finally moved to third division club Blackpool on a free transfer , but was there mostly only third choice behind Tony Caig and Phil Barnes and only came to a use against Bristol Rovers in October 1999 . Even after Blackpool's relegation to the fourth division, nothing changed in his reservist existence, after a brief loan to the Conference National at Northwich Victoria in October 2000, his contract was not extended at the end of the season.
He then moved to non-league football to Moor Green in the Southern League , in 2004 he qualified for the newly created sixth class Conference North . Although Rachel was very irregular due to professional commitments, he still belonged to the squad of the club after the merger of Moor Green and Solihull Borough to Solihull Moors in 2007 ; his membership finally ended in November 2011.
