Adams joined Sundowns in January

Adams completed his transfer to Mamelodi Sundowns on January 18, 2025. Prior to this, he had been a key player for Stellenbosch FC, contributing significantly to their successes.
Adams' performance at Stellenbosch
At Stellenbosch FC, Adams accumulated 109 appearances over five seasons (2020–2025), scoring seven goals and providing eight assists.
He was the first academy graduate to sign a professional contract at the club in 2020. Adams also played a pivotal role in the team's Carling Knockout victory in 2023 and was instrumental in securing qualification for the CAF Confederation Cup.
His consistent performances earned him a spot in the national team, Bafana Bafana, where he scored two goals in six appearances. His two goals came in Bafana Bafana's recent World Cup qualifiers against Lesotho and Benin Republic.
Since joining Sundowns, his performance metrics have remained strong, indicating a seamless transition to a more competitive environment.
