Luke Adamson (born 17 November 1987) is an English rugby league footballer who plays as a prop, second-row or loose forward for the Leigh Centurions in the Betfred Championship.[5]
He previously played club level rugby union (RU) for Bath Rugby, and also rugby league (RL) Leigh East ARLFC, the Salford City Reds in the Super League and Halifax, the Dewsbury Rams and Oldham (Heritage № 1374) in the Championship.
Background[edit]
Adamson was born Lowton, Greater Manchester, England.
Career[edit]
Adamson attended St Ambrose College in Hale Barns where he made his mark in rugby union as a strong running centre. He also represented Cheshire (RU), but his rugby league apprenticeship was served with the famous Leigh East amateur club where he spent three years. He made his début for the Salford City Reds versus Wakefield Trinity Wildcats in 2006. He is also an England academy player, representing England against Australia.[citation needed]
At the end of the 2012 Super League season, Adamson left the Salford City Reds due to the club's financial troubles, and returned to rugby union when he signed for Bath Rugby.[6][7]
In 2017, Adamson was signed by Oldham.[8]
Personal life[edit]
His younger brother Toby Adamson has also played for Dewsbury Rams, and Rochdale Hornet.[9]
