He made his debut, aged 17 years and 42 days, in a 5–1 defeat at Cheltenham Town to become Barnet's youngest ever Football League player.[1] Lockhart-Adams beat the previous record by 25 days, set by Kieran Adams in December 1994, but lost the record to 16-year-old Mauro Vilhete in May 2010.[2]

In February 2011, Lockhart-Adams was loaned to Isthmian Division One South club Walton Casuals in a bid for senior football. Spending the remainder of the season with the club, he went on to score four times in 11 appearances.[3]

Upon his return to Barnet at the end of the 2010–11 season, Lockhart-Adams was released by the club. His substitute cameo went on to become his only first team appearance for the Bees.[4]

He then joined Ashford Town for the latter half of the 2011–12 season, scoring 12 goals in 24 appearances. Lockhart-Adams notably scored all four Ashford goals in a 4–4 draw with Northwood in the Middlesex Charity Cup, having come on as a half-time substitute with his team 3-0 down. He then scored the winning penalty to lift the trophy.

Southern League

In August 2013, Lockhart-Adams joined Hitchin Town. After three appearances in the Southern Premier Division, he returned to Ashford Town after manager Mark Burke was unable to offer the forward regular first team football.[6]

In November 2013, he joined Beaconsfield SYCOB and made an immediate impact with a goal 21 minutes into his debut. Lockhart-Adams remained with the club for the season.[7]

Following Gary Meakin's departure to join Burnham as manager, Lockhart-Adams following his former boss to the Southern Premier Division club in August 2014.[8]
