Kain James Kofi Adom (born 7 September 2001) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for EFL League One club Burton Albion.
Adom started his non-league career with Staines Town and Ashford Town, before an impressive 2022–23 season with Hanwell Town. In July 2023, Adom joined National League South side Welling United on non-contract terms following a successful trial period.
In January 2024, Adom joined National League club Gateshead.
In February 2025, he joined fellow National League side AFC Fylde on loan for the remainder of the season. The following month, his loan was terminated to allow him to be loaned out to Sutton United for the remainder of the season.
Adom started the 2025–26 season in impressive form, being named the club's player of the month for August following four goals in eight games. Having struggled to find consistent game-time under previous managers, often deployed at right wing-back, he continued to impress manager Alun Armstrong in a more attacking role.
On 9 January 2026, Adom signed for League One club Burton Albion on an initial eighteen-month contract for an undisclosed fee. He made his debut the following day, assisting his side's first goal in a 5–0 FA Cup Third Round thrashing of Boreham Wood.
