Adrian Webster (born 10 October 1980 in Hastings, New Zealand) is a New Zealand footballer who plays for Cockburn City. He has represented New Zealand at full international level.
Webster's family moved to Australia when he was a toddler and he was brought up there. Injuries have been a source of problems for Webster. In 1995, while on trial at Newcastle United, he broke his ankle and was forced to return to Australia, where he finished school and played junior football for MacArthur Rams and Blacktown City.
He returned to England in 1996 and joined Charlton Athletic as a trainee. He turned professional in August 1998, but failed to make the first team squad and was released. He was briefly with Faversham Town before joining Colchester United in May 1999. However, with Colchester in the midst of a financial crisis, he was released before he had made his debut. He then played for Ashford Town and Welling United.
He joined Torquay United on trial in February 2002, but was not offered a contract. He joined Margate in August 2002, but played just once, as a late substitute for John Keister as Margate drew 1–1 at home to Morecambe in the Conference on 17 August. He joined Maidstone United later the same month.
He returned to Australia in 2003 to play for St George Saints where in the last match of the season he snapped a medial ligaments in his knee.
However, David Hodgson, Darlington's manager, saw potential in Webster and decided to give him an opportunity to regain fitness at his club which eventually led to Webster signing for Darlington in October 2004. He made his league debut on 6 November, as a late substitute for Craig Hignett who had scored both goals as Darlington won 2–1 away to Rushden & Diamonds.
