Adam Idah, a sturdy forward primarily playing as a striker, was born on the 11th of February 2001 in the Republic of Ireland. As of now, he dons the number 33 jersey for Swansea City. Standing at an imposing 6ft 2in (1.9m) and carrying a weight of 13st (83kg), he is a presence to be reckoned with on the field. Aside from his club duties, he has also had the honour of representing his home nation in international fixtures.
Idah's current market value sits at around £5.9m, as per the evaluation conducted by Transfermarkt.
Idah's football journey began in England, where he joined Norwich City as a trainee in July 2017. He eventually broke into the first team in the 2019-2020 season, making 12 appearances. His stint at Norwich saw him making 100 first team appearances over six seasons and scoring a total of 15 league goals.
In an interesting plot twist, Idah swapped English soil for Scottish terrain in February 2024, as he headed to the Premiership giants, Celtic, on loan. His time at Celtic proved prolific in the striker's career progression. In the 2023-2024 season, he made 15 appearances, securing eight goals for the Hoops. The following season was even more successful as Idah scored 13 goals over 35 appearances. The current season, 2025-2026, also saw him donning the Celtic colours again, making two league appearances so far.
However, Idah's journey with Celtic had a momentary pause when he returned to Norwich City in July 2024 on completion of his loan deal, only to make one appearance. Yet, it was not long before Idah was shipped back to Celtic, this time permanently for a fee around £8.5m in August the same year.
The narrative took another unexpected turn when Idah transferred from Celtic to Swansea City in September 2025. The details of this transfer remain undisclosed. The current season hosts Idah at Swansea, where he has made 18 appearances and found the net three times.
Off the regular club games, Idah was seen participating in the League Cup 2025-2026 for Swansea City, where he started twice. He also featured in the World Cup Qualifiers Europe 2024-2026 for the Republic of Ireland, performing with a hit and miss in five substitute appearances. He marked one goal to his name, though. Plus, his presence in the Nations League 2024-2025 for the Republic of Ireland witnessed a goal in his one start and three substitute appearances.
