Adam Idah, born in Cork on 11 February 2001 (age 25), is a Republic of Ireland striker with Swansea City. A commanding 6ft 3in (1.90m) centre-forward, he wears the number 9 and is valued at around £4.5m by Transfermarkt.
His senior career took him from Norwich City to Celtic in February 2024. That move gave him the platform for his most productive league season, with 13 goals in 35 appearances in 2024-25. It was not a long Celtic spell, but it was a useful one: direct, physical, and productive enough to matter.
Idah left Celtic for Swansea City in September 2025. In 2026-27, he has made eight Championship appearances and scored three league goals, with one further League Cup outing taking his Swansea total for the season to nine appearances and three goals.
He has also remained involved with the Republic of Ireland, making six appearances in World Cup qualifiers and scoring once, alongside two Nations League appearances and another goal. His career to date has run through Norwich, Celtic and Swansea, with his best scoring spell so far coming in Glasgow.
