Adams travelled from Guernsey to the mainland to gain more attention and his performances for the Boatmen did exactly that, as a number of scouts from professional clubs came to watch him.
He was given the opportunity to display his ability in the Southern League at the tender age of 16 and through his dedication and the club's determination to give the platform to its youth players to show their ability.
The 17-year-old has made 10 appearances for the Sholing senior side this season, scoring one goal.
Diaper told his club`s website: “I am pleased to announce our young first-team player Joe Adams has been given an 18-month contract with a further 12-month option by Wigan Athletic.
“This is great news not only for Joe but for Sholing FC in so much that it has proven a clear pathway from grassroots football to the professional game”.
