Forward player Adam Idah was born on February 11, 2001, in the Republic of Ireland. Standing at 6ft 2in (1.9m) and weighing 13st (83 kg), he primarily plays as a striker and dons the number 33 jersey for Swansea City. He also holds a place in the Republic of Ireland national team.
As of today, his market value amounts to approximately £6m, as reported by Transfermarkt.
In July 2017, Idah joined Norwich City, a Championship team in England, as a trainee. He made his first-team debut in the 2019-2020 season, making 12 appearances in league matches. His appearances increased over subsequent seasons, culminating in 28 appearances and six goals during the 2023-2024 season.
Idah was loaned out to Celtic, a Premiership team in Scotland, in February 2024. He made 15 first-team appearances and netted eight goals in the remaining season. His performance improved remarkably in the 2024-2025 season, where he made 35 first-team appearances and scored 13 goals. His contribution to the Celtic team was limited in the 2025-2026 season, with only two appearances.
Idah returned to Norwich City from Celtic upon completion of his loan in July 2024. He kept up his solid performance, resulting in a permanent transfer to Celtic a month later, in August 2024, for a fee of approximately £8.5m.
Following his successful tenure at Celtic, he moved to Swansea City, a Championship team in England, in September 2025. The transfer deal was undisclosed, and he has since made nine first team appearances, scoring two goals in the ongoing 2025-2026 season.
Idah has not only excelled in domestic football but also distinguished himself internationally. He took part in the League Cup 2025-2026 for Swansea City and scored in the World Cup Qualifiers Europe 2024-2026 and Euro Qualifiers 2022-2024 for the Republic of Ireland. He also added a goal to his count in the Nations League 2024-2025 for his home country, contributing significantly to the team's performance.
