Wrexham went top of the League One standings with a 3-0 win against Shrewsbury on Saturday, moving them three ahead of their nearest rivals, though Stockport and Birmingham have a game in hand. Parkinson's side are aiming for an incredible third consecutive promotion and Adam, who has signed on a one-year deal with an option to extend, will hope to aid their quest.
WHAT ADAM SAID
"I’m excited to get started and get going," he told the club's website. "They have been tough sessions while I’ve been here on trial – the gaffer’s had us working hard – but the boys have all been brilliant and I’ve got to know a lot of them. I’d say I’m a very technical player, I like to get on the ball a lot and make things happen. I’ve had some of the best coaches and best team-mates at academy level, they’ve helped me to grow a lot and it’s challenged me, and now the next step is to get into the men’s game."
