Adam Idah, a bright spark of the football world, took his first breath on 11th February 2001 in the Republic of Ireland. Now 25, the forward with a knack of tilting the game in his favour plays predominantly as a striker for Swansea City. The 6ft 2in (1.9m) tall Idah, weighing around 13st (83kg), is often seen donning the number 33 jersey with pride. His talents have not been restricted within the club sphere alone; Idah has been a contributing force for the Republic of Ireland national team as well.
As per Transfermarkt, an authoritative source in the football industry, the current market value of Idah stands around £4.6m. Transfermarkt does confirm its reliability through stringent fact-checks and up-to-date data.
Idah initiated his professional journey with Norwich City as a trainee back in July 2017. His career statistics are quite impressive, especially his offensive contributions for the Championship side. He cumulatively featured 100 times for the Canaries, netting a notable 15 goals in this period. Nonetheless, the pinnacle of his tenure at Norwich City was the 2023-2024 campaign, where he made 28 first team league appearances and scored six goals.
But his time at Norwich was punctuated by a loan spell at Celtic between February 2024 and July 2024. This period witnessed the Irishman scoring eight goals in just 15 appearances, truly a remarkable feat. Yet, he returned to Norwich to fulfil his contractual obligations. His short sojourn at Celtic was just a prelude to a longer stint that occurred a month later in August 2024 when Idah made his way back to Celtic, this time for a reported fee of around £7m.
While breaking down Idah's time at Celtic, it's fair to say it was dotted with noteworthy moments. The 2023-2024 period at Celtic, as previously noted, was prolific for him. However, the 2024-2025 season was an even greater return on Celtic's investment, with Idah featuring in 35 first team league matches and netting 13 goals. At the time of his eventual departure in September 2025, he'd made a couple of appearances in the ongoing 2025-2026 season.
The stage was set for yet another defining move, this time to Swansea City, executed in September 2025 for a fee that remained undisclosed. At Swansea City, the current season has seen him contribute three goals in 18 first team league matches. That said, his journey so far is not just about club football. He's also had the honour of representing the Republic of Ireland in the World Cup Qualifiers Europe 2024-2026, making five appearances as a substitute and scoring a goal, showing that Idah truly has the world at his feet.
