Toby Adamson (born 28 May 1990) is an English professional rugby league footballer for Dewsbury,[2] he has previously played for Salford of Super League.[3] Adamson attended St Ambrose College in Hale Barns where he played rugby union as a centre. His earlier rugby league was played for Leigh East amateur club where he spent an illustrious 8 years. Toby made his Salford debut against Huddersfield (away) in 2010. His brother, Luke, plays for Salford.
During a brief sabbatical from the professional ranks, Adamson returned to the University of Liverpool to complete his degree in law. Juggling his studies with the responsibilities of acting as the student mentor at his halls of residence, Toby graduated with 2:1 honours. He now wishes to use this, along with the experience he has gained in the car dealership industry, as a springboard to launch a career in business.
Toby was snapped up by North Wales Crusaders manager Clive Griffiths when his sabbatical came to an end.[4] He is looking to relish this opportunity and is quoted as saying "Clive Griffiths and John Fieldhouse were good enough to give me an opportunity to get back into the game at a good level so I'm going to take it with both hands and reward them." [5]
After a succession of solid performances during Toby's maiden season at the North Wales Crusaders there was much speculation regarding his future at the club. Such speculation, however, was put to bed when Toby signed on for the 2013 season.
