'''Daniel Benjamin Adams''' (born 3 January 1976) is an English former professional [[association football|footballer]] who played as a [[Defender (association football)|defender]].

==Career==
Adams turned professional in 1999 and played for clubs including [[Macclesfield Town F.C.|Macclesfield Town]], [[Stockport County F.C.|Stockport County]] and [[Huddersfield Town A.F.C.|Huddersfield Town]].

On 12 January 2007, the Huddersfield manager [[Peter Jackson (footballer, born 1961)|Peter Jackson]] told Adams along with two other teammates ([[Paweł Abbott]] and [[Martin McIntosh]]) that they were for sale. After telling this to the players, Peter Jackson told them to keep quiet about this but Adams thought that this was wrong and he told [[BBC Radio Leeds]] later that night. As a result of that Adams was then dropped from the first-team for the game against [[Cheltenham Town F.C.|Cheltenham Town]] the next day and his contract was cancelled by mutual agreement on 23 January.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.htafc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10312~969241,00.html |title=Adams Leaves Town |accessdate=20 May 2007 }}{{dead link|date=December 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

On 21 February 2007, Adams joined his former boss at Stockport, [[Sammy McIlroy]], at then Conference side [[Morecambe F.C.|Morecambe]] on a deal until the end of the 2006–07 season. Following their promotion to League Two, Adams signed a two-year contract at the club. He was released in March 2010 and joined [[Conference North]] promotion hopefuls [[Stalybridge Celtic F.C.|Stalybridge Celtic]] on 8 March. Adams joined [[Northern Premier League]] side [[Nantwich Town F.C.|Nantwich Town]] for the start of the 2010/11 season, moving on to Northern Premier League Division One North neighbours [[Witton Albion F.C.|Witton Albion]] in December 2010.
