Adjet was spotted by Ligue 1 club Toulouse FC when playing against them twice at under-17 level. As a result he was invited to train with them, subsequently signing shortly after.[6]

Failing to break through to the first team, Adjet joined city counterparts Blagnac FC on loan after being approached by an acquaintance in his hometown. Blagnac FC competed at in a Régional 2 division (level 7) at the time, with Adjet being involved in both the youth and senior set-up.[7]

Adjet returned to Toulouse Fontaines youth set-up after again being approached by an acquaintance in his hometown. The move was appealing to Adjet due to increased investment in the club at the time, with them competing in a Championnat National 2 division (level 4). During this period Adjet mainly represented the youth team, however he did represent first team with a solitary appearance.

Adjet’s talent was spotted by former Nancy player and coach Christophe Bastien whilst training with the first team at Toulouse Fontaines. Bastien went onto recommended Adjet to his former club.[8]

Following his release from Tours, Adjet struggled to find a professional club.

He attended initiatives organised by the National Union of Professional Footballers (UNFP) in the summer of 2011. This allowed him to train and play competitive games, in a bid to stay fit and find a club.

On 29 June 2011, Adjet scored for a team fielded by the UNFP made up of players trying to find a club. His team defeated an RC Lens XI 0-1. [12]

Toulouse Fontaines

2013–2014

Adjet returned to Toulouse Fontaines after two years without a club. The team competed in a Régional 1 division (level 6) at this time. Adjet admitted this spell at the club was poor in a sporting sense, with the club struggling financially at the time.[13]

2014–2019

For the following season, Adjet signed for SO Romorantin in a Championnat National 2 division (level 4). He remained part of their squad for five years, before suffering a knee injury against US Colomiers Football in the final game of the 18/19 season.[14]

Following successfully rehabilitation from injury, Adjet continued to represent SO Romorantin.[16]

Across the two spells, Adjet has represented SO Romorantin 234 times in the league and 5 times in the Coupe de France.

On 28 October 2023, Adjet played against his former club Tours FC in the 2023–24 Coupe de France providing an assist for an equalising goal as his team went onto win 2-1[17], advancing to the third round. SO Romorantin were eventually eliminated at the sixth-round stage by AS Saint-Priest.
