Adam Pearce (soccer)

Adam Pearce (born 8 January 1997) is an Australian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Newcastle Olympic.

[1][2] Pearce was raised in Forster, New South Wales, before moving to Newcastle, aged fifteen.

[5] He was called up to the senior squad for the first time and was an unused substitute against Sydney FC in an A-League match in November 2014 following an injury to Liam Reddy.

[3] Reddy's departure in late 2015 and suspension and international selection for Paul Izzo led Pearce and fellow young 'keeper Tom Heward-Belle to be called up to the senior side.

[7] Pearce was in A-League action again a week later, coming on as an early substitute after Paul Izzo suffered a concussion in the opening minute of an eventual loss to Newcastle Jets.
