Adam Idah (born 11 February 2001, age 25) is a towering 6ft 3in (1.90m) Republic of Ireland striker from Cork. He wears number 9 and has spent the bulk of his senior career tied to Norwich City, even with Celtic and Swansea City forming part of the route.
Norwich has been the main thread: six seasons, 100 league appearances and the club where his career has had its clearest shape. His most productive league campaign came in 2024-25, when he scored 13 goals in 35 appearances, a useful step for a striker who had not always turned promise into regular numbers.
Celtic came into the story in February 2024, when Idah joined from Norwich City. It was a short spell, but not an empty one: 27 appearances and six goals across all competitions, including two League Cup outings. In July 2024 he left Celtic for Norwich City, with Swansea City also part of his path before he became more firmly established again at Norwich.
In 2025-26 he has remained a regular first-team presence, making 25 league appearances and scoring six goals. He has also played six times for the Republic of Ireland in European World Cup qualifying this season, scoring once. His market value is around £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Idah’s career is still best read through Norwich, with a brief Celtic spell, time at Swansea City and continuing international involvement around it. He remains an active, established striker rather than a finished story.
