Playing career

Chambers' early career mirrored that of his twin brother James Chambers. Both played for Grove Vale F.C., whom they joined in 1996, before signing for West Bromwich Albion as apprentices in July 1997.cite book | last = Matthews | first = Tony | title = The Who's Who of West Bromwich Albion | publisher = Breedon Books | date = 2005 | pages = p48 | isbn = 1-85983-474-4] After progressing through Albion's youth system, both twins turned professional in January 1999. In the 1998–99 season they became the first twins to represent England at any level when they appeared together during the World Youth Tournament in Nigeria. Adam made his first team debut for Albion on 9 September, 2000, coming on as a substitute in a 0–0 draw away at Stockport County.cite web

On 26 December, 2002, they became the first twins to play together in the Premier League when they lined up against Arsenal, albeit that they were only on the field together for two minutes.

Adam played more than 60 times for Albion, but often struggled to hold down a first team place. During the 2003–04 season, he went on loan to Sheffield Wednesday. In February 2005, Chambers' contract at Albion was terminated by mutual consent, [cite news
