	PLAYER PROFILE
	Since returning to Australian soil in 2007, Adam has been one of the stand-out players in the Hyundai A-League. A Qantas Socceroo and Championship winner with the Newcastle Jets, he has the winning mentality demanded by Gold Coast United Chairman Clive Palmer and Head Coach Miron Bleiberg.
