Adam Christopher Rooney (born 21 April 1988) is an Irish footballer who plays as a striker for Aberdeen. He previously played for Stoke City, spent spells on loan at Yeovil Town, Chesterfield and Bury, was a regular first-team member for Inverness Caledonian Thistle, and played for Birmingham City and had a loan spell at Swindon Town. He played for Oldham Athletic prior to joining Aberdeen in January 2014.
Rooney signed for Stoke City in the summer of 2005. In his first season at Stoke, Rooney made his debut at academy and reserves levels, before making his first team debut as a second-half substitute against Tamworth in the FA Cup. Rooney scored his first goal for Stoke against Reading on 17 April 2006. In only his second full start for Stoke City, he scored a hat-trick against already relegated Brighton & Hove Albion in the final fixture of the 2005–06 season to become Stoke's youngest ever hat-trick scorer.
On 16 March 2007, it was announced that Rooney had joined Yeovil Town on loan for a month. The loan was later extended until the end of the season. However he returned to Stoke on 9 May 2007, after making one start and two substitute appearances for Yeovil.
In August 2007, he joined League Two side Chesterfield on a four-month loan.
