Adam Virgo (born January 25, 1983) is a professional footballer currently playing for Coventry City on loan from Celtic.
From the age of seven Adam Virgo played for the St. Aubyns Preparatory school football team. At 13 he was awarded a sports scholarship to Ardingly College. He then moved to his home town club Brighton & Hove Albion. In the 2004-05 season he earned nationwide coverage on his significant performances that maintained Brighton's position in the Football League Championship.
In July 2005, he completed a surprise move to Celtic for a reported £1.5 million. [1] Virgo endured an indifferent start to his Celtic career, being substituted in his first starting appearance after conceding a penalty, which led to limited appearances for the Hoops. Virgo remained on the fringes until first-choice centre back Bobo Balde left for the African Cup Of Nations. He was given the second start of his Celtic career against Motherwell. He was awarded man of the match for his display by both broadcaster Setanta and the official Celtic website. Virgo has since struggled with injury.
On 7 August 2006 he completed a season loan move to Coventry City.
On 31 August Virgo was sent back to Celtic to continue his rehabilitation from a knee injury suffered whilst playing for Coventry against Cardiff.
Virgo also qualifies to play for Scotland, despite having been born in Brighton, and he has already won a Scottish B Team cap against Germany.
