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.
