Alongside his bustling club career, Idah has also turned out for his national side, representing the Republic of Ireland on multiple occasions.

As of present, Transfermarkt values Idah at a robust €7.00m (approximately £5.9m). This valuation paying testament to his promising skillset and potential for growth. His career trajectory may be followed via Transfermarkt.

In July 2017, Norwich City, playing in England's Championship, welcomed young Idah into their ranks as a trainee. From his inaugural 2019 - 2020 season, til his 2024 - 2025 tenure, Idah made a succession of appearances for Norwich, tallying a respectable number of goals to boot.

February 2024 witnessed a change in direction for Idah, as he took up a loan offer from Celtic, situated in Scotland's Premiership. The 2023 - 2024 season saw him make an impressive 15 first team appearances and net a commendable eight goals in league matches for the Glasgow based outfit. Progressing into the 2024 - 2025 season, his contributions only escalated, with the bustling forward making 35 first team appearances and registering a noteworthy 13 goals. The current season, 2025 - 2026, has seen a continuation of Idah's influence, even if in a smaller capacity, with two first team appearances thus far.
