Studiously clinical on the field, Adam Idah's footwork has tantalised fans of the beautiful game for some time now. The Irish striker, born on the 11th February 2001, now aged 24, plies his trade at Swansea City. Standing tall at 6ft 2in (1.9m) and weighing a solid 13 stone (83kg), Idah is an imposing presence on the pitch, particularly when donning the number 33 jersey.
The young forward has also had the honour of representing his homeland, the Republic of Ireland, on an international level. As a testament to his talent, his current market value hovers around the £6m mark, according to Transfermarkt.
His football journey launched in earnest in July 2017. The fledgling Idah was swooped up by Championship side Norwich City as a trainee. The 2019-2020 season marked his first team debut where he made 12 appearances. Subsequent seasons saw a steady increase in his game time and goal tally, netting 12 goals in total over five seasons.
Seeking fresh pastures, Idah was loaned out to Celtic, in the Scottish Premiership in February 2024. His stint under the Celtic Cross was short but sweet, lasting only two seasons (2023-2025), but his performance was nothing short of impressive. He made a total of 50 first-team appearances, and his boots found the back of the net 21 times.
At the end of the loan period, Idah returned briefly to Norwich City before his transfer to Celtic was made permanent in August 2024, for a fee of approximately £8.5m. This didn't last too long, as in September 2025, he made a move back to England, this time to Championship side Swansea City, for an undisclosed fee.
So far in the 2025-2026 season, Idah has clocked up 18 first-team appearances for Swansea City, netting three goals. His engagements off the English leagues have seen him representing Swansea City in the League Cup 2025-2026 and Ireland in the 2024-2026 World Cup Qualifiers Europe and 2024-2025 Nations League.
In his short but eventful career, Idah's journey from Ireland to Norwich, Celtic, and Swansea City remains an intriguing one, a testament to his perseverance and undeniable talent.
