Welcome & good luck Kealey....
From the Club....
'DEFENDER Kealey Adamson has completed a permanent transfer to QPR from Australian A-League side
Macarthur FC, for an undisclosed fee.
The 22-year-old right-back officially joins on 1st July.
Adamson, who was an ever-present for the Bulls in 2024/25, is ready to begin life in west London, saying:
"I'm super excited.
“QPR is a massive club and an old club with lots of history. Even in Australia, I feel everyone knows who QPR is.
It’s a really attractive club, really well supported and the list goes on.
“I’m just keen to hit the ground running and get to work.”
While Adamson was already excited at the prospect of joining the R’s, he admits a conversation with Macurthur
centre-back Ollie Jones also helped his decision making.
“He's a massive QPR fan,” Adamson explained. “I was keeping up to date with the results even before I knew there
was any interest because he would just come into the changing room watching the end of games, watching highlights,
so I feel like really there was a connection without me even knowing it.
“I told him a little bit about the interest and he goes: ‘You're going, you're going, you're going!’
“He was very excited.”
Adamson moved into professional football three years ago when he joined Sydney FC, initially representing their
U21s in Australia’s second tier.
He made 19 league starts and such was his form that he progressed to play for the senior side in the Australia Cup,
helping them lift the trophy with a 3-1 win against Brisbane Roar at the end of 2023.
Before the turn of the year, Adamson joined Macurther FC – and in his first season with his new side he repeated his
Australia Cup success, this time lifting the trophy after a 1-0 win over Melbourne Victory.
He also made 13 A-League appearances, including a Finals outing. By 2024/25, Adamson was a regular, scoring twice
in 26 appearances.
Describing himself as a player, Adamson explained: “I like to think I'm a very modern right-back.
“I'm lucky I've got an engine, I've got pace to be able to get forward, join the attack a lot when I can and still be
able to come back and be disciplined in defence.
“So I feel that work-rate is the biggest thing you're going to get. I'm going to be at both ends of the pitch and hopefully
you'll be seeing two of me on the field!”
On the international stage, Adamson has represented Australia at U23 level, and he is aiming to continue his development
at QPR, where he has already been impressed.
“I'd heard a lot of good things from afar, but I think since having touched down, seeing the facilities, meeting the staff,
meeting all the support network around the first team, I think it's just super clear to see how I'll be able to grow my game
and how other players have grown their game in the past.”
CEO Christian Nourry said: “We are delighted to be able to welcome Kealey to the football club today. He was the stand-out
right-back in the 24/25 edition of the A-League.
“With an elite level of athleticism, we are excited to continue to help develop his qualities within our setup.”
