Adebisi was born in Croydon; his family moved to Northwich, Cheshire in 2004. He joined Northwich side Barnton, playing mainly as an attacking box-to-box midfielder.
Crewe Alexandra
He joined Crewe Alexandra's Academy aged 12, progressing through the ranks to play under-23 games in 2018-19;[3] he also went on loan to Leek Town.[4] He made his first team debut, aged 18, at Gresty Road in an EFL Cup second round tie against Aston Villa on 27 August 2019,[3] and made his league debut, coming on as a 79th-minute substitute for Harry Pickering, against Scunthorpe United at Gresty Road on 29 December 2019.[5]
A foot injury limited his appearances during the remainder of the 2019-20 season, but he was offered a new contract in June 2020,[6] and signed a new two-year deal at the end of July 2020.[7] In October 2021, he signed a new contract through to 2024.[8] In December 2022, Adebisi suffered another foot injury in a 2–1 win at Morecambe; this did not respond to treatment, and in March 2022 he required an operation that sidelined him for four months.[9]
He returned to the first team in September 2022, and on 25 October 2022 scored his first Crewe goal, the equaliser in a 1–1 draw at AFC Wimbledon.[10] He scored in Crewe's last league game of the 2022–2023 season (a 2–2 draw at Newport County on 8 May 2023),[11] then started the following season with goals in both of Crewe's opening league games, both also 2–2 draws, against Mansfield Town and Swindon Town respectively.[12][13] After helping the club reach the League 2 play-off final in May 2024, Adebisi was offered a new contract by Crewe.[14]
Peterborough United
On 3 July 2024, Adebisi signed for EFL League One side Peterborough United on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[15]
