Description

Adam Uche Idah (born 11 February 2001) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Scottish Premiership club Celtic and the Republic of Ireland national team.
Idah made his first senior appearance on 27 August 2019, playing the full 90 minutes as Norwich lost 1–0 at Crawley Town in the EFL Cup. He made his Premier League debut as a substitute against Crystal Palace on 1 January 2020 before starting Norwich's 2019–20 FA Cup third round match at Preston North End on 4 January, making his FA Cup debut. He scored his first professional hat-trick in the match, his third senior appearance for Norwich. On 15 January 2022, Idah scored his first Premier League goal for Norwich City in a 2–1 win against Everton. It was his first start for Norwich City in the Premier League and his first start for the Canaries at Carrow Road.

Idah moved on loan to Celtic on 1 February 2024. Idah scored the winning goal in the 2024 Scottish Cup final at Hampden Park against Rangers, sealing the League and Cup double.

Idah was born in Cork to an Igbo-Nigerian father and Irish mother.

He has been a youth international for Ireland. Following Idah's hat-trick for Norwich City against Preston North End on 4 January 2020, Republic of Ireland manager Mick McCarthy hinted that Idah may soon earn a full cap, commenting "He might have just got himself one", while working as a pundit for BT Sport's coverage of the match. On 24 August 2020, Idah was named in the Republic of Ireland senior squad for the first time for the UEFA Nations League games against Bulgaria and Finland, in what was his manager at under 21 level, Stephen Kenny's first squad as senior manager.

On 3 September 2020, on his first call-up for the senior team, he made his debut in a 1–1 draw away to Bulgaria in the 2020–21 UEFA Nations League.

On 19 June 2023, he scored his first goal for Ireland in a 3–0 win against Gibraltar in a UEFA Euro 2024 qualifier.

On 10 September 2023, he scored the opener for Ireland in an eventual 2-1 defeat to Netherlands in a UEFA Euro 2024 qualifier.
