Born on 11th February 2001 in the Republic of Ireland, Adam Idah, age 24, is a forward primarily playing as a striker for Swansea City. His commanding presence on the field is undeniable, towering at 6ft 2in (1.9m) tall, and weighing 13st (83kg). Donned in the number 33 jersey, Idah's mark on the field extends beyond club football as he also represents the Republic of Ireland national team.
The prowess of Idah is recognised in his market value, estimated at around £6m, as provided by Transfermarkt.
In July 2017, Idah began his professional football journey in the Championship at Norwich City, joining as a trainee. His debut season (2019-2020) allowed him 12 first team appearances, and his involvement on the field continued to increase. By the 2023-2024 season, Idah had made 28 appearances and scored six league goals.
However, February 2024 marked a pivotal point in Idah's career as he transferred from Norwich City to play on loan for Celtic in the Premiership in Scotland. In short order, his impact was notable. During the 2023-2024 season, Idah scored eight goals over 15 first team appearances. His successful streak continued in the 2024-2025 season, scoring 13 goals over 35 appearances.
A return to Norwich City came in July 2024 upon completion of his loan, but not for long. August of the same year saw Idah transferred back to Celtic, now for a fee of around £8.5m. His striking power evidently did not falter, as evidenced by his 13 goals over 35 first team appearances during the 2024-2025 season. Despite time being scant in the current season (2025-2026), Idah has already made two first team appearances.
However, in September 2025, fate shifted Idah's direction again, transferring him from Celtic to Swansea City in the Championship for an undisclosed fee. As of the current season, Idah has made 18 first team appearances, scoring three goals for Swansea City.
Additionally, Idah's talent extends to his national team duties. During the World Cup Qualifiers for Europe 2024-2026, he scored one goal over five appearances as a substitute for the Republic of Ireland. Also, in the Nations League 2024-2025, Idah started one game but made three more appearances as a substitute, scoring one goal.
There is little doubt that at every club and at every stage, Adam Idah has proven himself a valuable asset on the pitch.
