Adam Brooks, born on 9 February 2004 (age 22), is a Scottish striker whose senior career has taken shape away from the club where he first came through. He was a Celtic trainee, but his route to regular football lay elsewhere, and he left in July 2023 for Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
After Celtic, Brooks had spells with Inverness CT and Queen of the South before finding a more settled role at Crusaders. Those moves were the usual hard miles for a young forward trying to turn promise into senior minutes, rather than anything especially ornate.
Crusaders have become the club that matters most in his career so far. In the 2025-2026 season, he has made 37 league appearances and scored seven goals, his most productive league campaign to date. More importantly, he has remained a regular first-team presence, which is often the point at this stage of a striker’s development.
Brooks’ career began at Celtic, but it has been built through Inverness CT, Queen of the South and, most clearly, Crusaders. He is still early in his senior career, with his current spell giving it its clearest shape.
