==Career==

===Debut season=== As a new player on the tour Duffy would need to win four qualifying matches to reach the main stage of the ranking event tournaments. He came closest to doing this in the sixth event of the year, the Welsh Open, where he received a bye through round one and then beat James Wattana and Jack Lisowski, before being whitewashed 0–4 by former world champion Peter Ebdon in the final qualifying round.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://snooker.org/res/index.asp?player=74&season=2011 |title=Adam Duffy 2011/2012 |publisher=Snooker.org |access-date=11 May 2012}}</ref> He also reached the last 16 of Event 2 of the minor-ranking Players Tour Championship series, which included a 4–0 victory over world number one Mark Selby.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://snooker.org/res/index.asp?template=10&season=2011 |title=Order of Merit |publisher=WWW Snooker |date=8 January 2012 |access-date=11 May 2012}}</ref> Duffy finished his first year as a professional ranked world number 62, inside the top 64 who guarantee their places for the 2012–13 season.

===2015/2016 season=== In the first round of the 2015 UK Championship, Duffy pulled off a huge shock by eliminating world number nine and two-time winner of the event Ding Junhui 6–2. He credited the win to working hard on his game at the academy in Sheffield.<ref name="Duffy WS">{{cite web |url=http://www.worldsnooker.com/amateur-duffy-shocks-ding/ |title=Amateur Duffy Shocks Ding |date=24 November 2015 |publisher=World Snooker |access-date=4 September 2016}}</ref> He forced a deciding frame against Joe Swail in the next round having been 5–3 down, but lost it.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/snooker/sheffield-snooker-ace-duffy-gutted-at-narrow-uk-championship-defeat-1-7597671 |title=Sheffield snooker ace Duffy 'gutted' at narrow UK Championship defeat |publisher=Sheffield Star |access-date=4 September 2016}}</ref> He qualified for the China Open by beating Thepchaiya Un-Nooh 5–3, but would later withdraw from the event.

2017/2018 Duffy had a very poor season. His best performance was reaching the last stage of the World Championship Qualifiers where he lost 10–2 to Xiao Guodong. There was controversy in the 2nd frame where the ref called a waistcoat foul when Duffy was reaching across to pot the brown. He only required the brown and blue to win the frame, however Guodong cleared up to take a 2–0 lead.

He dropped off the tour at the end of the 2017/18 season and entered the 2018 Q School to win back his tour place, but his best result was a loss in the final round of the second event to Craig Steadman.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.worldsnooker.com/brown-earns-tour-return/ |title=Brown Earns Tour Return |date=25 May 2018}}</ref> He entered again in 2019.
