Report: The Derby County Supporters’ Club have named Ebou Adams as their Player of the Season following a standout campaign
Derby, England – In a season filled with highs and lows, one player consistently stood out at Pride Park — and now, the fans have spoken. The Derby County Supporters’ Club have named Ebou Adams as their Player of the Season, honouring his unwavering dedication, powerful performances, and commanding presence in midfield throughout the campaign.
Adams, who joined the Rams on loan from Cardiff City in January, made an instant impact with his tireless work rate and ability to dictate the tempo in the heart of the pitch. While some loanees take time to adjust, Adams hit the ground running, quickly earning the trust of manager Paul Warne and the admiration of supporters.
From his debut match, it was clear that the Gambian international brought a unique blend of grit, intelligence, and technical skill to the squad. Whether breaking up opposition attacks, launching forward passes, or rallying his teammates, Adams played every game with visible passion and purpose. Fans were quick to embrace his fearless attitude and commitment to the club’s promotion push.
“The Derby County Supporters’ Club have named Ebou Adams as their Player of the Season, and it’s no surprise why,” said Warne during a recent press conference. “He’s been immense for us. Not just for what he brings on the ball, but the character he shows off it. He’s a leader in every sense.”
The accolade is particularly meaningful given the passionate and vocal nature of Derby’s fanbase, who pride themselves on recognising not only talent but heart. Supporters cited Adams’ consistency and willingness to fight for every ball as key reasons behind their vote.
Social media was flooded with praise following the announcement. “Ebou Adams is everything you want in a Derby shirt — commitment, fight, and class. Fully deserved,” one fan posted on X (formerly Twitter). Another added, “Signing of the season. If we can get him permanently, it’s a no-brainer.”
Despite being a mid-season addition, Adams made more starts than many of his full-season teammates, a testament to his fitness, discipline, and adaptability. He also chipped in with several crucial goals and assists that helped keep Derby firmly in the hunt for promotion.
With the season now wrapped up, attention turns to whether Derby County will be able to secure Adams’ services permanently. Talks are believed to be ongoing, and both club officials and fans alike are hopeful that a deal can be reached.
“It’s been a special time for me here,” Adams said after receiving the award. “To be recognised by the fans like this means everything. I’ve loved every minute at Derby and playing in front of these supporters. They’ve made me feel at home.”
