Topley at Sports

Adam Topley makes a Hullbridge debut- in defeat against one of his former clubs


Hullbridge Sports have given a debut to Adam Topley- against the club he starred for last season.

Adam started the season in the Pitching In isthmian Premier Division with Margate, but played only three times before heading back North and signing for Tilbury, for whom he has played fourteen times and scored twice.

Last season he graced the North Division turf for Heybridge Swifts, playing forty times in black and white. He was part of the Dockers side defeated five-one by Swifts last month, and he was on the receiving end of a four-one defeat on Saturday, so he's probably sick of the sight of his old friends from Scraley Road already!

Adam came through the youth system at Concord Rangers, and as well as playing for the Beachboys he spent time on loan with Canvey Island and Aveley, playing four times for the Millers and eight times for the Gulls.

He moved on to East Thurrock United in the summer of 2019, but had little luck with injuries, playing only once at Step Three before spending some time with Tilbury, for whom he played eight times. He moved to Brightlingsea Regent for the 2020-21 season, and played twelve times-which made him an ever-present.
