Pacy London-born striker who started his career with Crystal Palace. Adolph joined the Eagles for the 1998/99 campaign and spent four seasons with the club. During 2000/01 he scored nine goals for Palace's youth sides. He also played in the reserves before being released at the end of the 2001/02 campaign.
In July 2002 Adolph scored for Conference club Gravesend & Northfleet in a friendly against Bromley but the Fleet opted not to sign him and he ended up joining Bromley instead. They were in the Isthmian League Division 1 South at the time.
Adolph went to become Bromley's leading scorer for three consecutive seasons, getting 16 goals during 2002/03, 25 during 2003/04 when he sometimes partnered future Margate striker Leroy Huggins and 20 during the 2004/05 campaign. Adolph had made over 160 appearances for Bromley when he released at the end of September 2005.
He immediately signed for Margate and made his debut as a substitute in a 1-1 draw with Billericay at Hartsdown Park on 4.10.05. On 15.10.05 Adolph was in the starting line-up for the first time as Margate travelled to Bashley for an FA Trophy tie and scored in a 3-0 win. He then got the only goal of the game in his next outing on 22.10.05 to secure an Isthmian League Premier Division win over Wealdstone at Hartsdown Park.
After a run of three matches without scoring Adolph took his tally to four goals from six starts when he scored twice in a 3-2 defeat against his old club Bromley in an Isthmian League Cup tie played at Hartsdown Park on 8.11.05. He was on target again in a 1-0 win at Windsor & Eton on 19.11.05 and Adolph then got his sixth goal in a 3-2 win over visitors Hampton & Richmond on 26.11.05. The Thanet Times said he'd been "lively".
A 1-1 draw at Maldon on 7.1.06 saw Adolph make his 17th consecutive start for Margate but that was his seventh game without scoring and he was then replaced by new signing Danny Hockton for a home game against Staines on 14.1.06. Adolph came on as a substitute as Margate lost 5-2 but only made one more sub appearance - in a 0-0 draw with Harrow at Hartsdown Park on 28.1.06 - before leaving the club having scored six times in 20 outings (three as sub).
At the start of February 2006 Adolph joined Isthmian League Division 1 South outfit Metropolitan Police and he went on to score ten goals for them from only 15 appearances (two as sub) before the end of the 2005/06 season.
In the summer of 2006 Adolph featured in some friendlies for Carshalton but he started the 2006/07 campaign with Croydon Athletic and scored once in five Isthmian League Division 1 South outings (two as sub) before signing for Kingstonian in November 2006. The K's Head Coach Stuart McIntyre said "I know Adolph well from Bromley, where he was my top scorer. What he brings with him is plenty of pace and a predatory instinct in front of goal."
Adolph went on to score four goals from 11 appearances for the Isthmian League Division 1 South club before being released by Kingstonian in January 2007.
He immediately rejoined Metropolitan Police and scored four goals from 17 appearances (five as sub) for them in the Isthmian League Division 1 South before the end of the 2006/07 season. Adolph stayed with the club for the start of 2007/08 but only started one league game before leaving the Met towards the end of 2007. He'd also made eight sub appearances and hadn't scored before his departure.
After a spell out of the game Adolph briefly resurfaced when he played in some friendlies for Godalming in the summer of 2008 but he left the club before the start of the 2008/09 season proper and dropped out of senior football.
