glory hog

Attention-grabbing teammate

A glory hog is someone who seeks credit and attention for achievements, often at the expense of others who contributed.

The term implies selfishness—hogging the spotlight rather than sharing it: He's such a glory hog, always taking credit for the team's work.

Similar to attention hog or spotlight hog.
