Adam Idah, born February 2001 (now 25 years old), hails from the Republic of Ireland and is presently making his mark as a striker for Swansea City. He stands a tall 6ft 2in (1.9m) and weighs in at 13st (83kg). He sports the number 33 jersey. Aside from his Club commitments, Idah has also earned caps for the Republic of Ireland national team.

Regarded as a promising talent, his current market value sits at around £6.5m, as noted by Transfermarkt.

Idah's career trajectory started in England's Championship, joining Norwich City as a trainee back in July 2017. His competitive debut came in the 2019-2020 season, where he made 12 appearances. He continued to build his profile at Norwich, making regular appearances and contributing goals over subsequent seasons.

A significant turn in his career came in February 2024 when he transferred to Celtic on a loan deal. During his temporary stint at Celtic, Idah impressively netted eight goals in just 15 appearances during the 2023-2024 season. His success continued into the following season, making 35 appearances and scoring 13 goals.

After his valuable time at Celtic, Idah returned to Norwich City in July 2024. However, with clear proven potential, it was not long before Idah was back at Celtic, this time transferring for a fee of around £8.5m in August 2024.

During the two seasons at Celtic, from 2023 to 2025, Idah proved a valuable asset. Evident from his 15 and 35 appearances in both seasons, and managing to net 8 and 13 goals respectively. In the current season, Idah has already featured in two league matches for Celtic.

Despite his success at Celtic, Idah made an unexpected and recent switch to Swansea City in the Championship in England in September 2025. The fee for the transfer was undisclosed. Current form shows him in good shape, having already made 18 first-team appearances and scored three goals in the 2025-2026 season.

Apart from club duties, he has represented the Republic of Ireland in the World Cup Qualifiers Europe 2024 - 2026, scoring a goal in five substitute appearances. He also featured in two starting line-ups for Swansea City's 2025 - 2026 League Cup run.
