Adam Philbin

Adam was scouted by Chelsea while playing Sunday league football for a local club and being offered a chance to join the Chelsea Academy. His progress continued and he was offered a two-year scholarship from the start of the 2007-08 season

On the 15 November 2010, Coombes was loaned out to Football League One club Yeovil Town on a months youth loan and made his début in the subsequent match against Charlton Athletic he made three substitute appearances before returning to Chelsea to become the reserve 2nd Top Goal Scorer behind Fabio Borini. The 2011/12 season started with good form shown and a reserve team goal scored in the opening month but then the highly unfortunate run of injuries continued. A knee injury suffered in training in September 2011 ruled Coombes out for six to nine months
