"I want to hit the ground running and make an impact right away. I think the deal has been rumbling on since the start of the window, so I'm just happy to get it over the line," he told the club website.

"Right from the start, the gaffer Carlos Corberan was on to me to get me in. He was telling me all about the way he likes to play and bits about the club.

"I was really keen as soon as I spoke to him. He's impressive. You know exactly what he needs from you and it's exactly the type of manager I like to work under."

Head coach Carlos Corberan added: "At the start of the window we identified a need to increase our attacking options, specifically in wide positions.

"Mikey was one of our targets going into this window and we are delighted he is joining us.

"He is a player with European and international football experience as a winger and, if needed, he also has the qualities required to play as a number 10.

"Mikey has the skill to make a difference in the final third and the fact he has played regularly for Celtic in December and January means he will be able to make an immediate impact here."
