Ebou Adams aged 27

Midfield: Appearances for the Bluebirds 0



By Glen Williams



After 3 years at Forest Green in League 2 and the Non League making 108 appearances / 8 goals Ebou signed as a Free agent at the beginning of this season for Cardiff City has yet to make a first team appearance due to an injury.



Adams is a bit of an enigma to many Cardiff fans. His signing from Forest Green Rovers on a free transfer last summer, after impressing during their promotion campaign from League Two, left many excited to see his presence in a midfield which was looking light on the ground.

An incident in pre-season then left him with a serious shoulder injury which was supposed to take a couple of months to heal. Various setbacks since have meant that Adams is still yet to make his competitive debut for the first team and having to make-do with under-21 appearances as he looks to rebuild his fitness.

Against Barnsley, Adams was perhaps a victim of the scrappy first half hour, as initially he struggled to get a foothold in the game. However, after his goal - which was worthy of winning any match nevermind an under-21s clash - he grew further into the action.

Playing in a slightly more advanced role, the 27-year-old rarely gave the ball away, linked up well with his team-mates and managed to bring composure to a game which had been lacking it for much of the first half. He was subbed off after 66 minutes with the comfortable all-round display suggesting he isn’t too far off first-team football now and should be in a good position to have a productive pre-season.
