Adebisi was born in Croydon, Surrey; his family moved to Northwich, Cheshire in 2004. He joined Northwich side Barnton, playing mainly as an attacking box-to-box midfielder.
He joined Crewe Alexandra's Academy aged 12, progressing through the ranks to play under-23 games in 2018-19;[3] he also went on loan to Leek Town.[4] He made his first team debut, aged 18, at Gresty Road in an EFL Cup second round tie against Aston Villa on 27 August 2019,[3] and made his league debut, coming on as a 79th-minute substitute for Harry Pickering, against Scunthorpe United at Gresty Road on 29 December 2019.[5]
A foot injury limited his appearances during the remainder of the 2019-20 season, but he was offered a new contract in June 2020,[6] and signed a new two-year deal at the end of July 2020.[7] In October 2021, he signed a new contract through to 2024.[8] In December 2022, Adebisi suffered another foot injury in a 2-1 win at Morecambe; this did not respond to treatment, and in March 2022 he required an operation that would sideline him for up to four months.[9]
He returned to the first team in September 2022, and on 25 October 2022 scored his first Crewe goal, the equaliser in a 1-1 draw at AFC Wimbledon.[10]
