Derby County midfielder Ebou Adams has shared some joyful personal news off the pitch — he and his wife are expecting a baby.
The 28-year-old Gambian international, who joined Derby on loan from Cardiff City in January 2024, made the heartwarming announcement via social media, receiving an outpouring of congratulations from teammates, fans, and footballers across the country.
The couple, who have kept much of their private life away from the public eye, are said to be over the moon as they prepare to welcome their newest family member. Adams posted a photo featuring a baby scan and a pair of tiny football boots alongside the caption, *“Our biggest blessing on the way ❤️ Can’t wait to meet you, little one.”* His wife also shared a similar post, expressing gratitude and excitement for the new chapter in their lives.
For Adams, 2024 has already been a standout year. After struggling for consistent minutes at Cardiff City due to injuries and competition in midfield, the loan move to Derby County has reignited his form. Since arriving at Pride Park, Adams has become a key figure in the Rams’ midfield, bringing energy, grit, and composure — qualities that have helped Derby push toward their promotion ambitions.
His performances have not gone unnoticed by the Derby faithful, who have quickly embraced him not just for his footballing contributions but also for his humble personality and strong work ethic. The news of the baby has only deepened that connection, with fans flooding his posts with warm wishes and even chants referencing “Baby Adams” being heard at Pride Park during recent matches.
Manager Paul Warne also commented on the announcement during a recent press conference, saying, *“We’re all buzzing for Ebou. He’s been brilliant since he came in, and this is just fantastic news for him and his family. We wish them nothing but happiness and health in this next stage of life.”*
While balancing professional and personal commitments can be challenging, Adams has proven he thrives under pressure, and this new chapter could bring even more motivation as he continues to play a crucial role in Derby’s promotion push.
As the countdown begins for both the end of the season and the arrival of their baby, there’s certainly plenty for Ebou Adams and his family to look forward to.
