Biography


Adrian progressed through the youth system at Argentinian Primera Division side Club Atlético Banfield in Buenos Aires, making his debut in the final match of the Primera B Nacional 2013-14 season. His first team debut came in August 2016, in a Copa Sudamericana match against San Lorenzo. The left back went on to make nearly 70 appearances for the club over the next three seasons, and although an attacking full-back, grabbed only the one goal during that time.

Identified by United through the club's new scouting process, his capture was announced in June 2019, with the defender signing a three year deal. He made his first appearance in a United jersey in a pre-season friendly against Brechin City.

Adrian struggled to break into a United team destined for promotion back to the Premiership under Robbie Neilson. It was under new manager Micky Mellon that he featured most during the 2020-21 campaign, although again found it difficult to hold down a regular spot. After a season mainly as a bit part player in 2021-22 and at the end of his contract, Adrian left the club.
