The Woods’ midfield has been strengthened by the addition of inside-midfield jet Ben Adams for the 2022 season.

Adams joins the Woods after five years and 74 games at the Adelaide University Football Club in Division One of the Adelaide Football League.

During his time at the Blacks, the 23 year-old has become one of the premier & most consistent midfielders of the Division One competition being named in the best players in 58 percent of matches, winning two Gunning Medals (the Blacks Best & Fairest award) in 2019 & 2020, being named starting midfield in the 2020 Adelaide Footy League Team of the Year and finishing fourth in the 2021 Keith Sims OAM Best and Fairest Medal Count for Division One.

“I am incredibly excited to be joining the Woods” said Adams

“The Woods are a great club and I am look forward to getting started, meeting the playing group, volunteers and supporters and testing myself in the Hills Football League.”

Senior Coach Scott Prebble was thrilled to land the signature of Adams.

“We are thrilled to land a player with capability and raw talent Ben possesses into our group,” Prebble said.

“Some time ago, we identified Ben as a player of talent, of the right age and positional need for our group. He is a competitor who is desperate to develop his game. All of those qualities and attributes stood out us and made him very appealing,” Prebble said.

“As a driven young man, Ben will bring qualities to our culture and environment that we look for at our Club.”

“This will continue to see our improvement & growth as a team in the years to come.”
