Adam Luke Docker (born 17 November 1985) is an English-Pakistani footballer. In 2007 he was called up for Pakistan,[2] where he used the name of Adam Karim.[3]
Born to a Pakistani father and English mother, Karim began his professional football career with Bury, later joining Altrincham for a few months but then joined Bangor City in the 2005–06 season. He was released at the end of the 2006–07 season despite being a fairly impressive performer. He joined Chorley, but in September 2007 linked up again with his former Bangor manager Clayton Blackmore when he joined Porthmadog.[4] At the same time he was playing for Rochdale club Asia F.C.[5]
He parted company with Porthmadog in 2008. In late 2009 he was playing for Canaries FC in the Lancashire Evening Post Sunday football league[6] and captained them to victory in the Asian Community Cup final held at Stamford Bridge.[7]
In February 2010, he joined Salford City[8] but after a short period asked to be released[9] and subsequently joined FC United of Manchester.[10] He played one match for the club, coming on as a substitute.
He later joined Chadderton in November 2010,[11] scoring in the one and only match he played for the club.[12] He then joined Ashton United in November 2010.,[13] playing 3 games in February 2011.[14]
Since 2012, Docker has played for Stranraer F.C. in Scotland.
Away from football he runs a restaurant in Manchester.[15]
