Early career

In his early rugby days Adam Radwan played for Middlesbrough R.U.F.C. Due to Billingham R.U.F.C. being in a higher league, he decided to transfer there. He re-joined the Falcons' senior academy in the summer of 2017 after a string of impressive performances for the A-Team and in the Premiership 7s.^[2] The former Billingham RUFC, Middlesbrough RUFC and Hartlepool Sixth Form College man is renowned for his pace and finishing ability.^[2] He is of Egyptian ancestry.^[3]

Club career

A star for the Falcons in the 2016 Singha 7s, Radwan spent the latter part of the 2016-17 season with National League 1 side Darlington Mowden Park, having made his Falcons first team debut in the Anglo-Welsh Cup trip to Saracens.^[2] Radwan's progress continued during the 2017-18 campaign, during which he won the Anglo-Welsh Cup Breakthrough Player Award. His pace and evasive running saw him as the top try-scorer during the European Rugby Challenge Cup, including back-to-back hat-tricks against Enisei-STM.^[2] Radwan made his Premiership debut during 2017-18, capping off a memorable year by winning Falcons' Academy Player of the Season and helping the Falcons to the final of the World Club 10s in Mauritius. During 2018-19 Radwan scored his first Premiership try during an away game at Bristol Bears, and also scored his first Heineken Champions Cup try away to Edinburgh.^[2] Helping the Falcons to promotion from the RFU Championship during the 2019-20 campaign with a string of eye-catching tries, he continued his progression with seven tries in 11 games during the 2020-21 season, earning a call-up for England's 2021 summer internationals.^[4]

On 29 November 2024, he scored a try off the bench for only a second win of the season for the club and their first win over Saracens since 2009.^[5]

In January 2025, he joined Leicester Tigers with immediate effect. He signed on a multi-year deal with Newcastle Falcons being compensated given the transfer took place mid-season.^[6] He scored a try on his debut with his first touch of the ball in defeat against Gloucester.^[7]

International career

On 10 July 2021 Radwan made his full England debut and scored a hat-trick of tries in a 70-14 victory against Canada at Twickenham.^[8]

On 18 October 2021 he was named in England's squad for the 2021 Autumn Nations Series.^[9] Radwan started on the wing in England's first game of the series against Tonga, scoring a try in the third minute as part of England's 69-3 win.^[10]
