Adam Priestley (born 14 August 1990) is a Gibraltarian footballer who plays for Farsley A.F.C. of England's NPL Division One North and Gibraltar national football team, as a Forward.
Club career
Priestley began his career in the academy of Leeds United before joining amateur side Sherburn White Rose FC. From 2009–2012, he played for Garforth Town before signing for Farsley. In his first season with Farsley, Priestley scored 27 goals, including 21 in the league, and attracted interest from clubs higher up the league system including Halifax Town and Hyde. His 27 goal tally was enough to earn him the Players’ Player of the Year and Manager’s Player of the Year awards as well as being the team's top goal scorer. On 1 August 2013, it was announced that Priestley signed for Guiseley of Conference North. However, after making only 8 appearances for the club and not scoring a goal, he left Guiseley and returned to Farsley A.F.C. On 8 October 2013, Priestley resumed his scoring for Farsley by scoring in his second appearance back with the club against Goole AFC.
International career
Priestley qualifies to represent Gibraltar having been born there while his father, Adrian, was serving in the Royal Air Force. Priestley made his debut for Gibraltar in a friendly on 3 July 2013 against Scottish Premiership club Hibernian after he was contacted to train with the national squad by head coach Allen Bula. After Gibraltar was accepted as full UEFA members on 24 May 2013, Priestley was one of the first eligible players to agree to represent Gibraltar following a search by the Gibraltar Football Association as they began preparations for UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying, along with former English Premier League and Manchester United defender Danny Higginbotham and Bromley's Anthony Bardon.
