He added: “When the gaffer signed me in 2008 it was at a tough time in my career, but St Johnstone is where I fell in love with football again.
“I can’t speak highly enough of everyone at St Johnstone; the staff, my team-mates and the fans.
“It was great to be a part of the most successful St Johnstone side of recent times, especially qualifying for Europe in the latest campaign and I’m very proud of that.
“Of course I leave with a heavy heart and I’m sad to go, given my affiliation with the fans there, but this opportunity is one that I had to grab with both hands.”
