McCaw and Adcock made their debut in 2018 Canadian Championships representing Ontario, where they finished in fourth place.

McCaw/Adcock competed as senior skaters at the 2019 Canadian Championships, finishing last. Their partnership ended in 2019 and a year later Adcock teamed up with Patricia Andrew, also for Canada.^[4]

2021–22 season

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Andrew/Adcock made their debut only in 2021–22 season.

In September 2022, coach Andrew Evans announced Cho Hye-jin and Adcock as a new pair team for South Korea.^[6]

Cho and Adcock debuted at the 2023 South Korean Championships and won, as they were the only pair team. After South Korea qualified to the 2023 World Team Trophy, the first time the nation had reached the event in its history, Cho/Adcock were named to the team as the pairs entry.^[7] They finished sixth in both segments of the competition, while Team South Korea won the silver medal.^[8]^[9] This made Korea only the fifth country to reach the podium at the event.^[7] Adcock said that the team's priority over the summer was working to add a second triple throw to their free program.^[9]
