Whatever Happened To... Adrian Coote
Coote joined the U's for a then record £50,000 from Norwich City in December 2001, but was released by mutual consent in October 2003, having made 36 appearances and scoring four goals.
After leaving Layer Road he stayed local dropping into the non-league scene and joining Wivenhoe Town on non-contract terms. He later signed an 18-month contract with the Dragons, but by the summer was transfer listed and by the end of the year he was released from his contract at Broad Lane, allowing him to move to Dereham Town in the Eastern Counties League.
His time at Dereham was short and come the summer he moved across Norfolk, joining Wroxham in the same league in July 2005. After a season a Wroxham, he was given a one-year contract extension, but attempted to sign for Gorleston - the move was not ratified and he ended up moving there a year later without appearing for Wroxham again in between.
Since his time at Gorleston, he has gone on to play for Carpathians in the Yarmouth and District League and Sunday league teams.
Away from football, he has worked for Aviva and appeared on Channel Four's Countdown on 2009.
Clubs since leaving the U's: Wivenhoe Town, Dereham Town, Wroxham, Gorleston, Carpathians.
