Adam Idah, born on 11 February 2001 in Rep. Ireland, is a 23-year-old forward, known for his striking prowess with Celtic, where he dons the number 9 jersey. Standing tall at 6ft 2in (1.9m) and weighing a robust 13st (83kg), he's made strides in his career at home and abroad, representing the Republic of Ireland national team.
Idah's current value is approximately around £5m (according to Transfermarkt). With Celtic, his contract is set to run until 30 June 2029, a good 4 years and 8 months remaining at present.
His professional journey began in July 2017, when he joined Norwich City in England's Championship as a trainee. He made his debut for the side during the 2019-2020 season, making 12 appearances. He cemented his place in the subsequent seasons, featuring consistently in the squad and scoring a handful of goals each term.
In a pivotal career move, Idah was transferred on loan to Celtic in Scotland's Premiership in February 2024. During his tenure, he was impressive, making 15 appearances in the 2023-2024 season and netting an impressive eight goals. However, Idah returned to Norwich City upon completion of his loan in July 2024.
But his stay at Norwich was short-lived, as he made a permanent transfer to Celtic for a fee of £8.5m in August 2024. Once again in the green and white hoops, he has continued his good form, scoring goals and putting in solid performances for the Bhoys.
Idah has also made his mark beyond league action, participating in the League Cup, Scottish Cup, Nations League and Champions League for Celtic. Additionally, his international exploits for the Republic of Ireland in the Euro Qualifiers and Nation Leagues have further stretched his portfolio. From all accounts, it seems Adam Idah is making quite a mark on Scottish shores and beyond.
