Adam Idah, born on 11 February 2001 in the Republic of Ireland, is a robust forward primarily plying his trade for Swansea City. Towering at 6ft 2in (1.9m) and weighing in at 13 stone (83kg), he dons the number 33 jersey. Idah has also taken his role on the international stage, representing the Republic of Ireland national team.
Currently, Idah's market value sits comfortably around £5.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Idah's journey in football commenced at Norwich City, joining the Championship outfit as a trainee in July 2017. In his breakout season of 2019 - 2020 at Norwich, he made 12 first team appearances. Over the subsequent seasons up to 2024 - 2025, starring frequently for the first team, Idah scored a dozen goals across a mix of appearances.
Following a fruitful time at Norwich, Idah arrived in Glasgow in February 2024, transferred on loan to Celtic, a prestigious club in the Scottish Premiership. His time at Celtic proved to be prodigious, netting eight goals in 15 appearances in his first half-season at the club. In the following 2024 - 2025 season, Idah established himself as a standout player at Celtic, contributing 13 goals in 35 league matches. In the ongoing 2025 - 2026 season, he has made two appearances.
However, his stint in Glasgow was short-lived, returning to Norwich City upon completion of his loan in July 2024. Despite his short time at the club, Idah's impact was palpable, remembered as a potent scorer and popular figure among the Celtic faithful.
Idah's journey then took a turn in August 2024, making his move to Celtic permanent in an £8.5m transfer. His time at Celtic was no less successful the second time around, continuing to score regularly and contribute meaningfully to the team. The 2025 - 2026 season saw him make two further appearances for Celtic before another move beckoned.
In September 2025, Idah transferred to Swansea City in England. His current season at the club has seen him take to the pitch once.
Idah's club football career is complemented by a notable international record. He has scored in both the World Cup Qualifiers Europe 2024 - 2026 and the Euro Qualifiers 2022 - 2024 for the Republic of Ireland. He also represented his country in the Nations League 2024 - 2025, scoring once.
