Adams grew up in Guernsey, studying at Elizabeth College before moving to Southampton at the age of 18 to forge a career in the game.
Morecambe currently sit 17th in Football League Two and play Mansfield at the Mazuma Mobile Stadium on Saturday.
Adams spoke to the club’s website about the move.
“I’m really looking forward to it, it just came about the last couple of days. I was told the loan was a possibility and when it got done, I was buzzing,” he said.
“I’ve been on a few loans which were four or five games each, they were good experiences but here, a proper loan until the end of the season, I’m looking forward to it.
“I’d say my best position is a number 10; I’ll run all game, make runs in behind and I like to get on the ball as well. I’ll take people on and hopefully gets some goals and assists.”
