Ireland striker Adam Idah is determined to make up for lost time as he made a goalscoring return from injury in Norwich's 1-1 draw against Reading.
It's been a difficult year for Adam Idah, who has found action on the pitch limited due to injuries.
In his absence, Michael Obafemi has shined for Ireland, while the emergence of Chiedozie Ogbene and Evan Ferguson means he's in for a battle to get back into Stephen Kenny's side.
Adam Idah's Struggles
The Ireland striker has showed flashes of what he is capable when given the chance, but hasn't been able to produce his talents on a regular basis.
In his first start of the season, Adam Idah made it count as he scored in his first goal for Norwich since February.

This well taken finish showed that when given the chance, he can be for both club and country.
Now that he is fit again, Adam Idah wants to put a difficult 2022 behind him and build some momentum to help a Norwich side who are currently searching for a new manager.
It has been difficult for me but I think that's part of football. You do get injuries here and there.
This is my first long-term injury but I think I have to just put it to the back of my head now and focus on playing and, like I did, get the goal and help the team. It's a bit strange when a manager does leave with the mood around the training ground but these things do happen and you have to put it to bed.
It's obviously quite frustrating that I picked up so many injuries and, to be fair to Dean, he did show a lot of faith in me by starting me in the Premier League.
It's unfortunate that I had so many injuries and didn't get to play much under him."
If Adam Idah can get back among the goal for Norwich, it would be a welcome sight for Ireland fans ahead of a daunting European championship qualifying campaign that begins in March.
