Born on the 11th of February 2001, Adam Idah hails from the Republic of Ireland. Currently aged 25, the forward primarily plays as a striker for Swansea City, wearing the number 33 jersey. Standing at 1.9m (6ft 2in) tall and tipping the scales at 83kg (13st), Idah's physicality is a marked feature of his game. His international duties have seen him represent the Republic of Ireland's national team.
Presently, Adam Idah's market value hovers around £4.5 million, as reported by Transfermarkt.
In July 2017, the young Irishman joined Norwich City in the Championship as a trainee; a significant stepping stone in his burgeoning career. His formative years at Norwich saw him progressively gain more playtime and goal scoring opportunities, from making 12 first team appearances in league matches in 2019-2020 to scoring six goals across 28 appearances in the 2023-2024 season.
Adam's career took a notable leap in February 2024 when he transferred to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership, on loan from Norwich City. His first season with Celtic in Scotland saw him make 15 appearances and score eight goals in league matches. This impressive form continued into the following season where, across 35 league appearances, he netted 13 times. His second season, however, was brought to a premature end when he was recalled to Norwich City upon completion of his loan spell in July 2024.
Following a brief return to Norwich City, Celtic in Scotland secured Idah's permanent transfer in August 2024 for a fee of around £8.5 million. In his most recent full season with the Hoops, he made 35 first team appearances and scored 13 goals in the 2024-2025 season. His contributions to Celtic's cause during this period were formidable, cementing his place as a key player within the team.
In September 2025, Idah parted ways with Celtic to join Swansea City in the Championship in England for an undisclosed sum. In the current 2025-2026 season at Swansea City he has made 19 appearances and scored four goals. He also appeared for Swansea City in the League Cup, with two starts to his name. His international commitment remains steadfast, having represented the Republic of Ireland in the World Cup Qualifiers Europe 2024-2026, scoring once in six appearances as a substitute.
While Idah's career trajectory has been an impressively upward one, it was his time in Scotland with Celtic that arguably defined his playing personality. The bitter-sweet mixture of temporary and permanent terms, these seasons saw Idah mature into the player we see today, providing a catalytic spark for Celtic up front and starring in a number of memorable moments for the Hoops' faithful.
