Adam Idah (born 11 February 2001, age 25) is a Republic of Ireland striker from Cork. An imposing 6ft 3in (1.90m) centre-forward, he came through at Norwich City before Celtic brought him north in February 2024.
His Celtic spell gave his career its sharpest league return. In 2024-25 he scored 13 goals in 35 league appearances, a useful output in a role where Celtic strikers tend not to be granted much patience for nearly moments.
Idah left Celtic in September 2025, joining Swansea City. He wears the number 9 there and remains a regular first-team presence in 2026-27, with 10 Championship appearances and four goals, plus one League Cup appearance. Across all competitions for Swansea this season, he has 11 appearances and four goals.
He has also stayed involved with the Republic of Ireland, making six appearances in European World Cup qualifying and scoring once, along with four Nations League appearances and one goal. His market value is around £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Idah’s career so far has moved from Norwich to Celtic and on to Swansea, with his most productive league season coming in Glasgow. At 25, he remains an active club and international striker with a clear role at Championship level.
