After a successful first season at the helm of the Buffaloes soccer program, Adam Laney led the 2009 squad to an AAC regular season title and an impressive 11 win season. Laney was also named the 2009 AAC Coach of the Year following the season.

Laney comes to Milligan from Campbell University in Buies Creek, N.C., where he served as assistant director for compliance and academic services. Previously, he worked with Campbell for three seasons as the assistant men's soccer coach. Coach Laney joined the Fighting Camel staff in June 2005 and made an immediate impact, helping direct the top defense in the Atlantic Sun Conference. The Campbell defense led the A-Sun in goals-against average (0.98) and shutouts (6) and only once allowed more than two goals in a game. Prior to Campbell he spent three years as the assistant at Wofford College in Spartanburg, S.C.

After playing his first two collegiate seasons at UNC Greensboro, Laney transferred to Charleston Southern, where he earned a B.S. in kinesiology and biology. At CSU, he was named to the 2000 Big South Conference all-tournament team.

Laney, who holds an Advanced National Diploma from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, has also been involved in Campus Outreach projects in Moscow, Russia and Clearwater, Fla. As a member of USYSA Olympic Development Region III staff, Laney works with the top players in the southeast to select one of the four regional teams in the country. He is married to the former Audrey Bateman and they have two children Elijah and Molly.
