Name.. Adam Connor,

Age 20

Clubs – Cambusnethan Thistle AFC

What has your football career looked like?

I didn’t start football until i was 12. I started out as a goalkeeper but as time went on, I realised I was far too short for it 😂. I then played for Mossend as a striker/winger before moving to North Motherwell playing the same positions for a while, before transitioning to full back. I then gave up football in 2022 due to uni/work commitments, before coming back to it in april 2024 when i founded and started playing for camby. I have played in almost all positions, however i have found myself consistently playing left wing back, left back and right wing.

***Is their a player or players who have been most influential over your career?***
Luke Motherwell, my teammate. We played at North Motherwell together for years, and we have both motivated each other to push through games (even when the other is playing pish). I managed to convince him to join me at my team and he’s a very good player that everyone can learn from.

Do you have a favourite strip you have worn over the years ?

Either the current Camby home kit or my old North Motherwell home kit

Can you describe a particularly memorable goal or victory that stands out in your mind?

I scored a peach at Stenhousemuirs stadium vs Ava Fc. Volleyed it from distance, right over the keeper. This was a friendly, however the goal was very cool for me as i scored it in a stadium with my family in the stands.

Have you generally been injury free throughout your career?

I have never had any serious injuries through football (touch wood), only really had muscular injuries and a boxers fracture to my hand.

Only Cambusnethan Thistle AFC

Who was the best team mate you have/Do play with?

Kai Smith. Didn’t know him before we started playing together, but have since grown to be good pals both on and off the park. Kai is a talented player who is really easy to gel with on the park, giving 100% every game whilst also motivating his team mates. One of the few boys who is there week in week out both at training and at games.

What were your hopes/expectation’s for the 1st season?

I was hoping for at least a mid table season considering we are a brand new team, however it’s been a tough year with low numbers for some games and trouble properly gelling together. Now it feels like things are becoming a lot more positive and everything is starting to fall into place, with some decent results to show for it.
