Southport FC welcomes Joe Adams back to town as he signs with the Sandgrounders

Joe Adams has today completed a move to the club. Joe who is 22 and an attacking midfielder, is a former Welsh Youth International and a product of the Bury Academy and was voted Bury’s young player of the year in 2018-19. He had been at Bury since the age of 7. Joe has also been at Brentford making 65 appearances for the Brentford B Team scoring 18 times.

Joe has been capped by Wales at Under 18, 19 , 20 and 21 levels and scored his first international goal in a 2–1 UEFA European Under 19 Championship qualifying victory over Sweden in 2018.

Joe has spent the last year with Dundalk making 34 appearances and scoring once.

We extend a very warm welcome to Joe who, on signing, reminded us that at a very young age he said that one day he will play for the club having lived in the town and supported the club as a young boy, he is now able to do just that.

Manager Liam Watson said ” Joe has a great pedigree and we are delighted to bring him to Southport following his return to this country from Ireland where he gained great experience with Dundalk, he is an exciting player who I think our fans will enjoy watching. He was in the same age group as Declan, Niall and Josh and a player we have monitored for some time, the international clearance is now through and Joe will be in the squad for tonight’s game against Boston United”
