Adam Lee Newton (born 4 December 1980 in Grays) is an English-born Saint Kittitian and Nevisian professional footballer who currently plays for National League side Woking. He has previously played for West Ham, Peterborough, Brentford and Luton. Although he has represented England at under-21 level, Newton was a member of the Saint Kitts and Nevis national football team.

Career

West Ham United

Newton began his career as a youth player with West Ham United, where he was a member of their FA Youth Cup winning squad in 1999, scoring in the second leg of the final in a 9–0 aggregate win over Coventry City. He signed a professional contract in August 1998, but struggled to establish himself in the team. He was loaned to Portsmouth in July 1999 and made his league debut the following month in a 2–1 win against Sheffield United. Newton returned to West Ham at the end of August and on 25 September 1999 made his Premier League debut for West Ham, appearing as a substitute for Marc Keller in a 1–0 away defeat to Coventry City. Later that season, he appeared as a substitute in West Ham's 3–1 win away to NK Osijek in the UEFA Cup, and in April 2000 was a late substitute for Scott Minto in a 5–0 win at home to Coventry. These were, however, to be his only first team games for the Hammers. Newton joined Division Two side Notts County on loan in September 2000 until the end of the season, making 20 league appearances and scoring once against Oxford United on his debut.[2] In March 2002, he joined Division Three team Leyton Orient on loan,[3] playing in 10 league games and scoring once against Exeter City.[4] He was released by West Ham at the end of the 2001–02 season, after rejecting a contract with Orient.[5]

Peterborough United

Newton joined Peterborough United, then in Division Two, on a free transfer in May 2002.[6] He quickly established himself in the Peterborough side,[7] and in 2004 was one of three UK-based players, the others being Sagi Burton and Calum Willock, to be called up by Saint Kitts and Nevis for the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign.[8] After dropping down the pecking order following the arrival of Russell Martin at the end of the 2007–08 season, his contract with Peterborough was terminated by mutual agreement.[9] Newton played in a total of 249 games in all competitions in his six seasons at London Road.

Brentford

Newton joined League Two side Brentford on a one-year contract from 1 July 2008.[9] At the start of the 2008–09 season, Brentford manager Andy Scott named Newton club captain, but he later lost the captaincy to Kevin O'Connor after a spell out injured. Newton was released by Brentford at the end of the season, having helped the Bees win the League Two title,[10] scoring once in the process on the last day of the season against Luton.[11]

Luton Town

On 28 May 2009, Newton signed a two-year contract with Luton Town.[12] Newton made a total of 67 appearances over two seasons at Luton, scoring 4 goals, and played in the club's play-off final defeat to AFC Wimbledon on 21 May 2011. On 2 June 2011, it was announced that Newton's contract would not be renewed and that he had been released from the club.[13]

Woking

On 27 June 2011, Newton signed for Conference South side Woking.[14] Despite being a regular starter, Newton decided to retire on his playing career at the end of the 2014–15 season so he could spend more time with his family.

Woking Return

On 11 August 2015, Newton had a change of mind on his retirement and returned to Woking, making an appearance in their second game of the season against Bromley in a 2-0 victory.
