Jake Joseph Clifford Adelson (born 11 January 1996) is an Australian professional footballer who plays as a right back or right winger for Central Coast Mariners FC.

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]
