Adam Idah, an accomplished forward, was born in the Republic of Ireland on 11 February 2001 and is at present 25 years of age. Idah, known for his predominant role as a striker, currently plays for Swansea City and wears the number 33 jersey. With a height of 6ft 2in (1.9m) and a weight of 13st (83kg), he's a notable figure on the pitch. In addition to his club commitments, he has also had the honour of representing the Republic of Ireland's national team.

Idah's current market value is approximately £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt.

Idah began his professional journey in July 2017, joining Norwich City in England's Championship as a trainee. His debut season (2019 - 2020) with Norwich saw him make 12 first team appearances in league matches. Idah's time at Norwich was steady, with highlights including the 2023 - 2024 season in which he made 28 first team appearances and scored six goals in league matches.

Striding forward in his career, in February 2024, Idah moved north of the border to Scottish Premiership giants Celtic, on a loan agreement. His performances at Celtic were nothing short of stellar. In just half a season (2023 - 2024), Idah made a mark with 15 appearances and astonishing eight league goals. The next season (2024 - 2025) saw him perform even better, having cemented his place on the team with 35 appearances and 13 league goals. His superior on-pitch performances made him a fan favourite at Parkhead.

With the completion of his loan, Idah returned south to Norwich City in July 2024. However, Celtic had not seen the last of him. For a fee of around £8.5m, Celtic secured Idah's return to Parkhead from Norwich City later that same summer. His sterling run continued with Celtic in the 2024 - 2025 season, and in the current season (2025 - 2026), Idah has already made two first team appearances in league matches.

The ambitious player embarked on a new journey in September 2025 when he transferred from Celtic to Championship side Swansea City for an undisclosed fee, thus marking the end of an eventful period in Scotland. His current season with Swansea has seen him make 18 first-team appearances and score three goals.

Idah has also shined in the larger footballing scene, participating in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Swansea City with two starts, and also representing the Republic of Ireland in the World Cup Qualifiers Europe 2024 - 2026. There, he netted one goal in six appearances as a substitute.
