He had signed with the Virginia Beach Mariners for the 2007 season,[3] but within the month the franchise, caught in the midst of an ownership squabble, was terminated by the United Soccer Leagues.[3] After a trial, he was signed by D.C. United in April 2007, scoring his first MLS goal on June 28th, a game winner against the Colorado Rapids at RFK Stadium.

Addlery was a member of the 2004 U23 Jamaica national football team during the Olympic qualifying tournament in Mexico. He made his first international appearance as a member of the U20 Jamaican national Team in the qualifying matches for the 2001 FIFA World Youth Championship in Argentina.[3]

He was a four-time first-team PSAC all-star and PSAC Rookie of the Year in 1999.[4] In 75 career games, he scored 52 goals and recorded 20 assists for the Vulcans. He ranks second on the Cal U career goals and points (124) lists and fifth in career assists.[5]
