Career

Glasgow Rangers

On April 14, 2004 Adam made his league debut for the Rangers against Livingston FC , but could not convince and remained a substitute. He played again at the beginning of the 2004/05 season, but was loaned to Ross County in the Scottish Second Division for the remainder of the season . When he returned, he was awarded the following year to FC St. Mirren , who were playing in the second division at the time and were promoted to the Scottish first division that year .

When he returned to the Rangers, he was able to assert himself in the position of left midfielder and was henceforth part of the team. Adam scored his first goal for his employer in the 3-2 win over AS Livorno on October 19, 2006. He scored 13 more goals that season, including an important free-kick against arch-rivals Celtic Glasgow . In April 2006 he was voted the best young player of the Glasgow Rangers of the year through a vote of numerous fans of the club.

Blackpool FC

In order to finally establish himself as a professional, Adam moved to the English second division club FC Blackpool in August 2009 . At his new club, he quickly earned a regular place and in the Football League Championship 2009/10 played a major role in the surprising rise of his team to the Premier League . Charlie Adam (43 games / 16 goals) was voted into the PFA Team of the Year of the second division at the end of the season because of his above-average performance . Adam (35 games / 12 goals) also performed well in the 2010/11 Premier League , but this did not prevent his team from being relegated directly at the end of the season.

Liverpool FC

After Adam was courted by Liverpool FC in the winter of the 2010/11 season, he moved to Liverpool in the summer of 2011 for a rumored eight million pounds.

Stoke City

On the last day of the transfer window, Adam moved to Stoke City . He signed a four-year contract with the Stoke-on-Trent club until June 30, 2016.

National team

On May 11, 2007 Adam made his debut for Scotland in the friendly against Austria . He was also nominated by coach Alex McLeish in the Scotland squad for the European Championship qualifier against the Faroe Islands and played his second game here.
