Adam Poliakov's path to Brentford has been shaped by resilience and ambition. Originally part of Tottenham’s youth setup, Adam faced a pivotal moment when he wasn’t offered a scholarship at U16 level. Undeterred, he joined Brentford's U18s, where his dynamic playing style as a box-to-box midfielder quickly made an impact.

Known for his relentless energy and commitment on the pitch, Adam is a player who covers every blade of grass, and his teammates often describe him in three words: box-to-box.

One of Adam’s standout moments at Brentford came when he delivered a crucial assist against MK Dons, helping the team secure the Merit League 2 title—a victory he counts among his proudest achievements. Reflecting on his time at Brentford, Adam says, “Winning Merit League 2 last year was my greatest moment in the shirt.” It’s a testament to his determination and passion, qualities that continue to drive him forward.

Adam’s ultimate goal this season is to earn a professional contract and get selected for Ukraine’s U18 national team. Training alongside Brentford’s first team at the Robert Rowan Performance Centre, Adam has learned the importance of professionalism on and off the pitch, lessons that he applies in every game and training session.

Before matches, Adam finds his focus with the music of Gunna, setting the tone for his high-energy performances. His dream five-a-side team, featuring legends like Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, Ronaldinho, and Ramos, reflects his love for creative, attack-minded football. Looking ahead, Adam believes his ability to contribute as a box-to-box midfielder will be a key asset for Brentford in the coming years, and he is eager to make his mark as a future star of the club.
