He was instrumental in helping Keith Curle\u2019s side win last season\u2019s League Two play-offs.<\/p>\n<p>That was his fourth promotion as a player having helped <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/01\/21\/leicester-city-set-to-step-back-from-christian-eriksen-deal\/\" target=\"_self\">Leicester City<\/a> return to the Championship in 2009. He was also part of Chris Wilder\u2019s title-winning Northampton side which dominated League Two in 2015.\u00a0 Adams also helped his boyhood club Bury to promotion under Ryan Lowe in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>He is a very talented midfielder at this level. Adams can score goals but he brings creativity in abundance. He is also a leader and was Northampton\u2019s captain under Curle before choosing to leave the club. Adams has amassed over 600 career appearances and is hoping to continue that at Oldham.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oldhamathletic.co.uk\/news\/2021\/january\/22012021-nicky-adams\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Speaking to the Oldham website<\/a> about his move, Adams said: \u201cI\u2019m really glad to be here and it\u2019s a really good opportunity to make my mark at a club I know a lot about after coming up against Oldham a number of times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m a passionate player who still has a lot to give.
