Celtic have announced the signing of Adam Idah from Norwich on a five-year deal.

It had long be rumoured this summer that the forward would return to Parkhead following a loan spell last season where he netted nine goals in 19 appearances.

And now Brendan Rodgers has finally got his man with the Irish striker penning a long-term contract with the Hoops –  a decision which he said was an easy one to make.

“Within the first couple of days of being here when I came on loan first time, I wanted to play for Celtic” he said speaking to club TV.

“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.”

Rodgers himself shared his delight in getting the deal over the line:

“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.

“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.”
