Club career
[edit]A native of Grenoble, Adou began his youth playing for local team AJ AT Villeneuve Grenoble, before joining the youth academy of Grenoble Foot 38 at the age of 11. He made his senior debut with the club in the 2015–16 CFA. In July 2017, he signed for Annecy and remained there for three seasons.[3]
In July 2020, Adou moved to Racing Besançon in search for more game time. As the team vice-captain, he played an important role in the team's promotion to the Championnat National 2, after topping Group E in the 2021–22 Championnat National 3.[4][5]
In August 2024, Adou joined V.League 1 side Hong Linh Ha Tinh as a free agent, signing his first professional contract. As he has Vietnamese origins, he was registered by the club as an unnaturalized overseas Vietnamese player.[6][7] He made his professional debut on 14 September 2024 in the first matchday of the 2024–25 V.League 1, and scored the only goal of the game to help this club defeat the defending champions Thep Xanh Nam Dinh.[8][9]
