Born on the 11th of February, 2001, Adam Idah is an Irish forward currently playing as a striker for Swansea City. With a height of 6ft 2in (1.9m) and weighing in at 13st (83 kg), Idah confidently sports the number 33 jersey on the field. Earning his stripes in international football, he has also represented the Republic of Ireland national team.
The Republic of Ireland star has a market value, according to Transfermarkt, of around £6m.
Idah started his professional career in England, joining Norwich City as a trainee in July 2017. He made his first team debut for Norwich City in the 2019-2020 season, making a total of 12 league appearances. As the seasons progressed, so too did his on-field contribution, resulting in 17 appearances and 3 goals in the 2020-2021 season, 17 appearances and a single goal in the 2021-2022 season, 25 appearances and 2 goals in 2022-2023 season, and 28 appearances and 6 goals in the 2023-2024 season. His performances dwindled in his final season with the Canaries, making only one appearance in the 2024-2025 season.
In February 2024, Idah got his first taste of Scottish football, joining Celtic on loan. He made an immediate impact in Celtic green and white, scoring 8 goals and making 15 appearances in the remainder of the 2023-2024 season. His impressive performances continued in the following season, as he became a key player for the Hoops, making 35 appearances and netting 13 goals in the 2024-2025 season. The striker also got off to a strong start in the 2025-2026 season, making 2 appearances early on.
Idah's success at Celtic caught the attention of his parent club Norwich, prompting a return to the Canaries upon completion of his loan deal in July 2024. Despite his good form in Scotland, Idah struggled to break into the first team at Norwich, making a solitary league appearance in the 2024-2025 season.
The striker's impressive performances had caught the eye, and by August 2024, Idah had transferred from Norwich to Celtic in a solid deal for the Hoops, valued around £8.5m. Continuing from where he had left off, Idah was a key contributor for Celtic in the 2024-2025 season, making 35 appearances and scoring an impressive 13 goals. He also made a promising start to the 2025-2026 season, with 2 appearances early on.
In a surprising turn of events, Idah transferred from Celtic to Swansea City for an undisclosed fee in September 2025. He seems to have settled well with the Swans, making 18 appearances and scoring 3 goals in the ongoing 2025-2026 season.
Aside from his club duties, Idah had a substantial role in the Republic of Ireland’s World Cup Qualifying campaign from 2024 to 2026, scoring once in five substitute appearances. He also donned the green shirt in the Nations League 2024-2025, scoring once in his lone start and making 3 appearances as a substitute.
