Adrian Coote (born 30 September 1978 in Belton,[3] nr Great Yarmouth) is a former professional footballer.
Coote, a striker, came through the youth system at Norwich City, for whom he scored 3 goals in 61 appearances. While at Carrow Road, he won six full international caps with Northern Ireland.
Norwich sold Coote to Colchester United for £50,000,[3] but was unable to establish himself in the side, and, after a loan spell at Bristol Rovers where he scored once against Leyton Orient,[4] he was released by Colchester shortly after the start of the 2003-04 season.
Since leaving Layer Road, Coote has played for a series of non-league clubs in Norfolk including Wroxham. He currently plays for Rampart Signs FC in the Halls Group Great Yarmouth Sunday League Division Three, and Carpathians FC in the Great Yarmouth and District Football League Division 2.
Coote, who is now a sales manager for Brighthouse, said: “I did have some injury problems. I just fell out of love with football and am now moving on with my life - which is a good life.”[3]
