Adair played for Hamilton City in Canada before signing with the New Bedford Whalers of the American Soccer League in 1924.
Adair began the 1925–1926 season with the Whalers, played one game, then moved to Providence F.C.
This began a nomadic period of Adair's career as he hopped from one team to another.
From Providence, he moved to the Brooklyn Wanderers before finishing the season with the Newark Skeeters.
However, when the Giants returned to the ASL, Adair left the team and moved to Bridgeport Hungaria.
