Position: Goalkeeper

Australian international goalkeeper who has proved himself to be more than capable between the sticks.

After coming through the New South Wales Institute of Sport and the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra, Adam had a short trial with Bolton before joining Wolves on a non-contract basis for much of their 2002/3 promotion season.

After that he played for Italian Club Sardenga in Serie C1, but decided he wanted to return to England. He spent a couple of months with Leeds in the summer of 2004, then came to Madejski Stadium on non-contract terms in January 2005.

In the early part of the 2005/6 season he was on the bench for a number of Royals games. He then stayed on non-contract terms while also playing for non-Leaguers Carshalton.

He signed a one-year professional contract with Reading in the summer of 2006. He soon celebrated his new deal by scoring in a pre-season friendly at Bromley!

After impressing in the FA Cup, particularly when winning player of the round for a superb display at Old Trafford, he signed a new contract to stay until 2009. Made his Premiership debut away at Tottenham.

Ended the season with his first international call-up, being an unused sub for the Socceroos.

The summer of 2008 saw him as first choice in Australia's Olympic team in Beijing, performing well against the likes of Argentina's Lionel Messi.

He then furthered his footballing education with a successful two-month loan at Southend, before starting the 2009/10 campaign in fine form as the Royals first choice stopper.

Season 2009 - 10
