Adomah has maintained he always intended to play at least until the age of 37 – his squad number.

“The day that I can’t run is the day that I’ll think about retiring, or if I have a serious injury then I’ll stop,” he said.

“I still believe I could do one more season in the Championship or two or three more at a lower level.”

Adomah began his professional career at Barnet in 2008 and was sponsored by legendary BBC commentator John Motson.

The winger made more than 100 appearances for each of Barnet, Bristol City, Middlesbrough and Aston Villa, ending with Villa’s 2018-19 Championship play-off final win against Derby County.

Short spells at Nottingham Forest and Cardiff City, on loan, followed before he joined QPR in 2020.

He has 19 international caps and two goals for Ghana.

And his advice to young aspiring footballers is “hard work prevails”, as he has had to overcome knock-backs in his career, including one before it even started.

He was initially rejected by Harrow Borough when he trialled for their reserve team in 2006, before returning a few weeks later and impressing to join the club’s youth team and “the rest is history”.

“Everyone has a different path, whether it’s the academy, or non-league football like Jamie Vardy, for me [the main thing] is – don’t be sidetracked, don’t be distracted, be focused to achieve your goal and be determined,” he added.

Adomah could make his last QPR appearance away to Coventry City on Saturday on the Championship’s final day.
