Derby re-sign Adams on three-year deal from Cardiff
Derby County have re-signed Ebou Adams from Cardiff City for an undisclosed fee after the midfielder helped the Rams to promotion from League One last season.
The 28-year-old Gambia international moves to Pride Park on a three-year deal having featured 17 times on loan for Paul Warne’s side last term as they sealed their return to the Championship as runners-up in the third tier.
Adams was an instrumental figure in their push for promotion after the turn of the year, with the Rams winning 11 and losing just three of the matches he featured in.
The permanent move to Derby ends Adams’ two years with Cardiff, where he managed just 13 appearances in all competitions.
He made all those appearances in the first half of last season but had to wait a year to debut for the Bluebirds due to a tendon tear and knee injury, following his move from Forest Green in summer 2022.
As a result of these injuries, the former Dartford and Ebbsfleet midfielder has only played 11 times in the second tier, spending much of his career in non-league and League Two.
He was also with Norwich earlier in his career but did not play for the Canaries, spending most of his time on loan.
Adams was a key target for Warne upon Derby’s return to the Championship after a two-year absence and immediately joined the Rams for their pre-season camp in Spain.
