The 23-year-old made 21 appearances and scored six goals as the Hoops won the Clydesdale Bank Premier League title last season.
He continued: "I wanted to stay here, Celtic wanted to keep me here and both sides are happy with this transfer.
"Last season (at Celtic) was four really enjoyable months for me and a great experience for me to play in both the Scottish Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.
"I think we finished in the best possible way, winning the championship and I am really proud of what we achieved.
"It was the best moment in my career so far and I am really happy that I have signed here and I hope that more good moments come for both me and the club."
