Adam Eckersley Biography

Adam Eckersley is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on September 7, 1985 in Manchester, Manchester, United Kingdom. Adam James Eckersley (born 7 September 1985) is an English footballer who plays primarily as a full-back for Scottish League One club Airdrieonians. He is the older brother of fellow professional footballer Richard Eckersley.

Prior to the 2008–09 season, he joined Danish Superliga team Horsens on a free transfer. The “Yellow Danger” were relegated at the end of 2008–09, after manager Kent Nielsen resigned and short-term replacement Henrik Jensen failed to spark a revival; Horsens finished four points behind the safety of SønderjyskE. The club made an immediate return to the top-flight by topping the 1st Division in 2009–10 under Johnny Mølby. Over the course of his seasons, Eckersley made forty league appearances, scoring twice.

In the summer of 2010, Eckersley moved to AGF Aarhus, manager Peter Sørensen intending him to replace Dennis Cagara. In his first season he helped the club to promotion into the Danish top-flight as champions of the 1st Division, and after some consistently great performances for AGF as attacking left back and a tremendous first half season in the Danish Superliga, including a stunning free-kick goal against Lyngby in round 13, he was selected for Les Rosbifs ‘Team of the Year 2011’ for best Englishmen playing overseas. AGF finished fifth in 2011–12, with Eckersley scoring seven goals in 48 appearances. The club finished in seventh place in 2012–13, and Eckersley played 35 games, including two Europa League matches. AGF dropped out of the top-flight after suffering relegation in 2013–14. At the end of the season, it was announced that Eckersley was being released by AGF and hinted that he may return to England.

In August 2014, Eckersley signed for Scottish Championship side Hearts until the end of the season, and having turned down an offer from a Scottish Premiership club to join Hearts he stated that move was the “best decision of his career”. He made his Hearts debut on 13 September, coming on as a substitute for Kevin McHattie, in a 0–0 draw with Dumbarton. Eckersley then scored his first goal for Hearts, in a 1–0 win over Alloa Athletic on 11 October, and he scored his second goal for the club in a 4–1 win over Queen of the South on 6 December. He was a regular first team player under manager Robbie Neilson, and helped Hearts to win promotion as champions in the 2014–15 campaign. It was reported in the Edinburgh Evening News that Hearts had decided in April 2015 not to renew Eckersley’s contract for the next season. His agent stated that money was not an issue in negotiations, and that the club simply retracted an initial informal offer of a new contract.

He joined Barnsley on 8 January 2007 on loan until the end of the season, but the loan was effectively cut short in April 2007 when Eckersley returned to Manchester United after suffering a torn thigh muscle and did not play for Barnsley again. He was promoted to the first-team squad as cover for the injured Mikaël Silvestre at the start of the 2007–08 season, before moving to Port Vale on a month-long loan on 12 October 2007. He made his debut in a defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion on 13 October 2007, in which he was sent off. However, he only made one more appearance before picking up a knee injury and returning to Manchester United for treatment.

He made his senior team debut in the League Cup on 26 October 2005, starting at left back in the 4–1 home win over Barnet.
