and all the staff at
@DUFCAcademy
for making tonight feel so special for Adam and the boys. I'm so proud of how hard Adam's worked for this opportunity and can't wait to see this team in action next year. ⚽🟠⚫
With Adam moving on from Thistle it's time for me to take a break from coaching. I couldn't have asked for a better bunch of boys to work with than these lot. Four brilliant teams to coach and lovely kids who hopefully I've helped a little on their football journeys. Thanks boys.
Proud day for Adam today captaining the
@DUFCAcademy

@MotherwellFC
and scoring 4 goals. Was great having a reunion with his Thistle Academy 2014 team mates, Aaron and Ryan. All the boys played really well. ⚽🟠⚫
What a team and group of friends these boys have been. Adam has loved his year playing with Thistle Academy 2014s and has had so many brilliant memories. Was great having the boys together for one last match against Greenock Morton Academy. Best of luck to all the boys! ⚽🟠⚫
Brilliant to see a Scotland BC reunion today with Adam, Oliver, Maxwell and Logan all up against each other for
