Adam Idah, the 24-year-old striker for the Republic of Ireland, made headlines with a thrilling stoppage-time equaliser against Hungary in a World Cup qualifier. The last game was a very exciting 2-2 draw. Idah proved his mettle, determination and ability on the field as he moves on to the next stage of his career.
Idah’s equalising goal came during a crucial match for Ireland, where both teams fought hard to secure points in the qualification process. It was this dramatic finish that demonstrated his profound talent and prowess as a forward. It served to remind everyone of his incredible ability to change a game for the better.
Before that, Idah had spent a year and a half at Celtic, having first joined the club on loan before making a permanent switch. While with Celtic, he had major success, winning two league championships and an FA Cup. His stunning late winner vs Rangers in the FA Cup final helped seal the trophy for Celtic at Hampden Park. This moment was the apex of his tenure with the club.
Idah’s time at Celtic wasn’t all plain sailing. He acknowledged having experienced “hate” and “torture” from critics during his time as mayor. Even though he scored 20 goals last season and was usually a sub for most of the season, he couldn’t shake the mullet-headed campaign against him.
“It can be tough, you get a lot of hate. You might have a bad game and it’s torture. It’s a difficult place up there. But flip it the other way, you’re doing well and it’s the best place ever.” – Adam Idah
As he prepared for the first Old Firm derby of the season, Idah found himself at a crossroads when Swansea City expressed interest in signing him. This unexpected news led to him not being included in Celtic’s squad at all for the 0-0 stalemate against Rangers. He decided to focus on his long-term future instead.
After that, now that his Deadline Day transfer to Swansea is through, Idah is ready for a reboot. He sounded excited about coming to the club and wants to make a big impression on the Championship.
“I think that’s what it’s going to be like at any top club. You’ve just got to deal with that.” – Adam Idah
Idah’s time at Club Brugge has given him a crash course in what pro football is like in terms of accountability and dealing with pressure and criticism. He’s looking to use all of these experiences as inspiration when he returns to Swansea for his next performance.
