Lyle Adams (born December 19, 1986 in Kingston) is a Jamaican footballer, currently in retirement.
Adams grew up in Orlando, Florida, attended Winter Park High School, played club soccer for the Central Florida United Soccer Club, and played college soccer at Wake Forest University, where he won a NCAA Division I national championship while graduating with an economics degree. During his college years he also played with both Central Florida Kraze and Carolina Dynamo in the USL Premier Development League.
Adams was drafted in the second round (26th overall) of the 2009 MLS SuperDraft by D.C. United, but decided to test the waters in Europe rather than sign with D.C. United.
After an unsuccessful trip to Europe where he was on trial with teams in Austria, Switzerland and Belgium, he joined the USL First Division expansion franchise Austin Aztex in March 2009. Adams made his professional debut, and scored his first professional goal, on April 18, 2009, in Austin's USL1 season opener against Minnesota Thunder.
He was released by the Aztex at the end of the 2009 season.
In the 2010 preseason, he trialed with D.C. United of Major League Soccer, and, on March 17, 2010, signed a developmental contract with them. Adams was released by D.C. United on April 30, 2010 without making a first-team league appearance.
