The Wappinger native graduated through the New York Red Bulls’ academy system to become a senior star while still in his teens. It did not take long for his potential to be noted in Europe, and Adams departed for Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig in 2019.

After three years in Germany, Adams moved to the Premier League with Leeds in 2022. He remained in the English top-flight when linking up with Bournemouth a year later and is now a key part of the USMNT fold. He has collected 36 caps while also skippering his country at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Adams has plenty left to achieve in the club game, at just 25 years of age, but concedes that he may be tempted to head home at some point. He told Business Beyond The Game when asked about future plans and whether they include a second stint in MLS: “It depends what they’re paying! The Red Bulls are definitely a sentimental part of my career and my heart. It means a lot to me that they gave me my first opportunities. And there are so many people at the club that have helped it to grow. Yeah, they mean a lot to me. I would definitely always consider it. Always open to a return, but it depends at the end of the day.”
