IRISH U21 STRIKER Adam Idah has been awarded a new contract with Norwich City along with a promotion to the first-team squad ahead of the club’s return to the Premier League.
Congratulations to @adamidah1 who has signed a new contract at #ncfc! 🙌
The young striker has also joined up with the first-team ahead of the new campaign... ⬇️
The 18-year-old from Cork joined Norwich in 2017, and his progress at the club has been impressive since.
Having initially impressed for the club’s U18s – his first season ended in the Player of the Season award – he was promoted to the U23s last year, scoring 13 times in all competitions.

His latest promotion continues a fine summer for Idah, having scored twice for the Irish U21s in the prestigious Toulon tournament.
“After Toulon, I got given the news that I would be training with the first-team”, Idah told the Norwich website.
“I was told it would be for the first few days but the other day, I was told it would be permanently.
“I’ve definitely had to pinch myself at points. A week ago, when I was at home and packing my bags to come here, it didn’t seem real.
“Coming into the changing room a couple of days ago was surreal, but I’m very happy to be back now.”
Idah has played for Ireland from U16 level, and he scored twice in the U21s’ 3-0 qualifier win over Luxembourg in March.
“I’m delighted to sign a new deal here”, said Idah.
“The moment they offered me a new contract, I knew straight away that I wanted to sign it. I’ve loved every minute here so I’m delighted. My form last season was great and I’ve worked very hard to get myself to where I am now.
“I’m delighted to be in the position I am now. Last year helped me a lot to get me to this position.”
