Adlard joined Grimsby Town at under-9 level.[2] On 3 September 2019, Adlard made his debut for Grimsby in a 2–1 EFL Trophy defeat against Scunthorpe United.[3]

On 24 September 2021, Adlard signed for Frickley Athletic on a one-month loan along with fellow Grimsby player Jaz Goundry.[4] He made his debut the following day in a 2–1 defeat against Pickering Town.[5]
