The Isuzu UTE A-League Young Footballer of the Year award is an annual prize awarded to the competition’s best young player from either Australia or New Zealand aged 23 and under; this season, players born no earlier than January 1 2002 are eligible for the award.
Adams was named Young Footballer of the Year December nominee via a panel appointed by the Australian Professional Leagues (APL).
The panel features an assortment of media representatives and technical football experts, who vote on a 3-2-1 basis at the conclusion of each nominated monthly period throughout the season.
Adams is the second player nominated for the award so far this season after former Brisbane Roar defender Lucas Herrington scooped the nomination for the October/November period.
The Jets midfielder is next in action this weekend as his side travel to CommBank Stadium on Saturday evening to take on the Western Sydney Wanderers.
