Career
Club
Brisbane Roar
Sarota was named National Youth League Player of the Year for 2008–2009.[2] As a result of his solid performances for the Brisbane Roar youth team, he was rewarded with a first team contract prior to the 2009-10 A-League season.[3] On 2 November 2008 he made his A-League debut for the Brisbane Roar against the Newcastle Jets.[4]
Utrecht
On 2 April 2010, along with fellow Brisbane Roar players, Michael Zullo and Tommy Oar, Sarota joined Dutch side Utrecht on a three-year deal, in a collective transfer deal rumoured to be worth in excess of A$1.8 million.[5][6] On 22 July 2010, Adam made his Utrecht debut coming on in the 70th minute of their away draw to Tirana in the UEFA Europa League.[7]
Loan to Brisbane Roar
On 20 September 2014, Sarota was loaned to Brisbane Roar for a season to add squad depth across all positions.[8]
International career
On 27 August 2010, it was reported Sarota had been invited to a training camp by the Polish Football Association. Sarota’s father, Tony, emigrated to Australia from Poland but said that whilst Poland was a possibility, the Socceroos were Sarota's preferred option.[9]
Sarota received his first Socceroos call up by coach Holger Osieck for a friendly match against Germany played on 27 March 2011. He made his international debut for Australia in August 2011, coming on as a substitute for FC Utrecht team-mate Michael Zullo in a win over Wales.
