SNS GroupCeltic have signed Adam Idah from Norwich City as the forward returns to Parkhead on a permanent deal following a successful loan-spell.
The 23-year-old Republic of Ireland international spent the second-half of last season at the Hoops and helped them to a league and cup double.
He has now put pen to paper on a five-year-deal and joins back up with the squad as they look to continue their domestic dominance while also making an impact in the Champions League.
After joining in January Idah scored a string of important goals including the winner in the 1-0 Scottish Cup final victory over Rangers.
He also scored at Ibrox in a 3-3 draw and also hit vital strikes in games at Easter Road and Fir Park in the title run-in.
The Premiership champions confirmed the signing on Wednesday.
Speaking to Celtic TV he said: “I think everyone knew where I wanted to be. It’s amazing for me and I’m delighted to be back.
“Within the first couple of days of being here when I came on loan first time, I wanted to play for Celtic.
“It was amazing to get all of those goals and to be in with the boys and to see these amazing fans week in, week out was unbelievable.
“I’ve never experienced anything like it and I’m just so happy to be back.
“I always wanted to play for Celtic and obviously last season was amazing. To come here now and be fully a part of the team and a part of this club is amazing to me.
“Everyone back home, all my family and friends, they all wanted me to come back to Celtic, myself included, so it’s massive and I’m just so happy to be here.”
Celtic manager, Brendan Rodgers said: “We are delighted to welcome Adam back to Celtic on a permanent basis and we are so pleased that he has agreed this new five-year contract with the club.
“The club has done brilliantly to secure this long-term deal. We are investing in a player of real quality who will be crucial for us over the next few years.
“He is a player who already has given us so much, performing fantastically for us on loan and really delivering for the club and our fans last season.
‘He played a pivotal role in our success last year and I know he can be hugely important for us again.’
“Adam has fantastic attributes and he is a dynamic, hungry, committed player who can make a real difference.
“Really importantly, Adam feels at home at Celtic, he has a love and passion for the club and I know he will be giving everything to once again bring our fans success.”
