Adam Pompey (born 22 August 1998) is a New Zealand professional rugby league footballer who plays as a centre and winger for the New Zealand Warriors in the National Rugby League (NRL).

Pompey was born in Auckland, New Zealand. He attended Wesley College in Auckland.

He played in the NRL Under-20s for the Sydney Roosters and, while under contract there, played also for the Roosters' feeder club, the Wyong Roos.

Pompey made his first grade debut for the Warriors against the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks in round 18 of the 2019 NRL season. In round 24 2019, Pompey scored his first NRL try in the Warriors 10-31 loss to the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Mt Smart Stadium in Auckland.

In round 16 of the 2020 NRL season, Pompey scored two tries in a 36-6 victory over Newcastle at Scully Park in Tamworth.

In round 3 of the 2021 NRL season, Pompey scored the match winning try in a 34-31 win over the Canberra Raiders.

Pompey made a total of 19 appearances for the New Zealand club in the 2022 NRL season as they finished 15th on the table.

In round 6 of the 2023 NRL season, Pompey scored two tries for New Zealand in their 34-24 loss against Newcastle. Pompey played a total of 27 matches for New Zealand in the 2023 NRL season as the club finished fourth and qualified for the finals. In the 2023 preliminary final, Pompey missed all three conversion attempts at goal and was sin binned for a professional foul in the second half as New Zealand lost 42-12 against Brisbane.



After a breakout season in 2020, 'Wets' progressed to make his 50th NRL appearance in 2022 and started the 2023 season by being selected for the Māori All Stars for the first time, lining up in the match against the Indigenous All Stars in Rotorua in February.

Predominantly used in the centres he has also played a number of times scoring 16 tries and averaging 99 metres a game across his first-grade career.

Adam Wetere Pompey joined the One New Zealand Warriors in the 2018-2019 off season after being with the Sydney Roosters in 2017 and 2018.

A former Wesley College First XV rugby union star, he appeared in each of the Vodafone Warriors’ 2019 NRL trials against Melbourne and the Wests Tigers, scoring a try against the Tigers in Whangarei.

Pompey had appeared 12 times for the One New Zealand Warriors in the Canterbury Cup NSW, scoring seven tries and averaging more than 142 metres, when he was called up for his NRL debut as Warrior #237. It came in the club's home game against Cronulla in Wellington.

He returned on the wing for the 24-16 win over Manly and scored his first NRL try in the 24th-round loss to South Sydney after being rushed into the side following an injury in the warm-up to Patrick Herbert. He finished the season with five NRL appearances (two tries) and was named the club's Canterbury Cup player of the year (15 games, seven tries).

While with the Roosters he made 40 appearances for the club’s under-20 side and also made his debut for feeder club Wyong in the then-Intrust Super Premiership last year.

He represented the New Zealand Secondary Schools against New South Wales Combined High Schools in 2015.
