[edit]

Amateur career

[edit]

Adamson was born in Stirling, Scotland. He played for Glasgow Hawks. He played with the Hawks for 11 years.[2] He helped Glasgow Hawks to National Cup victory in 2007.[3]

Professional career

[edit]

Adamson went on to play for Glasgow Warriors, first securing a part-time contract in 2006.[2] At the start of 2006–07 season he played in two pre-season friendlies against Moseley[4] and Newcastle Falcons.[5] He also played for Glasgow Warriors in a friendly at the end of the 2006–07 season against Scotland U20s, scoring a try and four conversions in the match.[6]

He then secured a full-time contract with the Glasgow side in May 2007. He was involved in all 3 pre-season matches for the Warriors in 2007–08 season.[7] He made his only competitive appearance for the Warriors in the Celtic League on 4 January 2008 against Newport Gwent Dragons.[8]

Although he stayed with the Warriors until 2010 he was unable to gain more competitive appearances, finding himself behind Dan Parks and Ruaridh Jackson for the fly-half berth.

He moved on to play for London Scottish but he was to similarly play only 1 competitive match for the exile side, against London Welsh in the 2011–12 season.[9]

Referee career

[edit]

When Adamson finished playing professional rugby he turned to refereeing. He stated: "Former players usually go down the coaching route after retirement but I feel I will be able to achieve more through refereeing. I have gained a lot from rugby and would like to give back to the sport."[2]

He has worked his way up the refereeing ladder, officiating in the Anglo-Welsh Cup in England, the Currie Cup in South Africa as well as PRO D2 in France.[10] His refereeing progress and development has been deemed a rapid rise.[11] He has now also refereed in Japan's Top League.[12]

Adamson has been refereeing World 7s matches since 2014.[13] He was appointed to the Refereeing Panel for the Olympic Games Rugby Sevens for Rio 2016.[14]

He refereed his first Pro12 match on 26 November 2016; the match Munster versus Treviso.[1] He became the first ex-player to play and referee in the Celtic League / Pro 12 league.[15] He refereed the 2nd Leg of the 1872 Cup between Glasgow Warriors and Edinburgh Rugby at the end of the 2016–17 season.[16]

He was named as one of the 9 referees that will take charge of the World Rugby U20 Championships in Georgia 2017.[17]

He refereed his first Super 6 match on 21 December 2019.

On 20 November 2021, Adamson refereed his first tier one International Match between Wales and Australia.
