Club career

Adelson began his youth career with Blacktown City FC before signing for the Everton F.C. Academy as a sixteen year old.[1][2] After playing for the U-18's and U-21's at Finch Farm, Adelson wasn't able to break into the first team or sign elsewhere in England (which included a trial at Huddersfield F.C. among others), so he decided to return to Sydney, signing with the Western Sydney Wanderers Youth squad.[3] At season's end, Adelson trialled with Newcastle Jets FC before signing with Central Coast Mariners.

Adelson made his first professional team debut for Central Coast Mariners in the Round 7 2015–16 A-League clash versus Melbourne Victory at AAMI Park. Adelson was deployed as right winger, though he has stated his preference is to play right fullback.[3]

Adelson was released by the Mariners in July 2017, after the 2016–17 season.[4] He signed a two-year contract with Newcastle Jets later that month.[5] Adelson made his first appearance for the Jets coming on as a substitute against Melbourne City in a 3–1 victory on 15 February 2019.[6]
