Charlee Shaun Adams (born 16 February 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays for Birmingham City. A midfielder, he made his first-team debut for Birmingham in the FA Cup in January 2014, and appeared 28 times in the Conference Premier in two spells on loan at Lincoln City.

Life and career

Adams was born in Redbridge, London,[3] and attended Cumberland School in nearby Newham.[4] As a youngster he was on the books of his local club, West Ham United, but after a trial at the end of the 2010–11 season, he and fellow West Ham trainee Kortney Hause joined Birmingham City's academy.[1][5] He maintained a blog on the League Football Education website about the progress of his two-year scholarship.[6]

In May 2013, he signed a one-year professional contract with an option for a further year.[7] With Tom Adeyemi injured and Hayden Mullins needed in defence, Adams was given squad number 34 ahead of the Championship visit to Brighton & Hove Albion on 11 January 2014. He travelled as a reserve, but was not part of the matchday squad.[8][9] Adams was included among the substitutes for Birmingham's FA Cup third-round match against Bristol Rovers three days later, and made his first-team debut as an 89th-minute replacement for Olly Lee with Birmingham 3–0 ahead.[10]

On 31 January, he joined Conference Premier club Lincoln City on loan until the end of the season.[11] He went straight into the starting eleven for the following day's match and played the full 90 minutes as Lincoln beat FC Halifax Town 3–1. According to the Lincolnshire Echo, he "excelled playing in a defensive midfield role. He ratted about and read the game brilliantly to give the City back four the best protection they have had in a long time."[12] He played regularly until the end of the season,[13] and after failing to break into Birmingham's first team in the early part of the new season, returned to Lincoln on loan until 1 January 2015.[14]

He again played regularly. By Christmas, the Echo described him as having "been different class since he arrived for his second loan spell", highlighting "the maturity and intelligence he shows on and off the ball" and "his ability to win the ball and get play going".[15] In the local derby away to Grimsby Town, he scored his first senior goal, a powerful volleyed shot from distance that tied the scores and, according to the Grimsby Telegraph, "changed the complexion" of the match, which Lincoln went on to win 3–1.[16] The goal was shortlisted for the Non-League Paper's National Game Awards Goal of the Season.[17] His loan was initially extended to the end of February,[18] and then to the end of the season.[19] On 3 March 2015, after Adams had played 15 times for Lincoln, he was recalled to Birmingham. Manager Gary Rowett felt his development would be better served by playing regularly in under-21 matches and training with the first team at his parent club,[20] and his progress was rewarded with a new one-year contract with the option of a further year.[21]

Adams made his first Football League appearance on 23 January 2016, as a stoppage-time substitute with Birmingham 3–0 up at home to Ipswich Town in the Championship. Within seconds of coming on, he produced a shot on target from outside the penalty area.[22] In March, the club took up the year's option on Adams' contract.[23] Adams made his first start for Birmingham in the last match of the 2015–16 season, partnering Maikel Kieftenbeld in central midfield away to Cardiff City..[24]
