Adam Idah was born in Cork on 11 February 2001 (age 25) and represents the Republic of Ireland. A towering 6ft 3in (1.90m) striker, he now wears No 9 for Swansea City, with his market value put at around ยฃ4.5m by Transfermarkt.
His career has been shaped most of all by Norwich City. Across six seasons there, Idah made 100 league appearances and scored 12 league goals, building the base of a senior career that has often seemed to move in bursts rather than in a straight line.
Celtic came into the picture in February 2024, when he joined from Norwich. His best league return came at Celtic in 2024-25, with 13 goals in 35 appearances, a productive spell that gave him a clear place in the recent story without requiring anyone to pretend it was more than it was.
He left Celtic in September 2025 for Swansea City. In 2026-27, he has made three league appearances and scored once, adding three Championship appearances with one goal and one League Cup outing. Across all competitions for Swansea, he has four appearances and one goal.
Idah has also remained involved with the Republic of Ireland, making six World Cup qualifying appearances this season and scoring once. His career to this point is still anchored by Norwich, with Celtic providing the most productive league season of his senior football and Swansea now the next step.
