Adam Idah has lifted the lid on his decision to leave Celtic.
The striker recently completed a £7million move to Swansea City in the English Championship.
Idah, who scored 29 goals in 76 appearances for the Parkhead club, claims that despite having 'no thoughts' about leaving Celtic, when Swansea came in, he felt a new start was required.
The 24-year-old spoke after netting a crucial late equaliser for Ireland in World Cup qualifying against Hungary on Saturday evening.

Idah nodded home from close range to salvage a point for his nation after coming on as a 78th-minute substitute.
"The manager told me when I came on to get in the box as there would be a lot of crosses coming in, so I had to try to get on one," he told BBC Sport.
"When the ball fell to Ryan Manning, I knew what type of crosser he is, and the ball fell perfectly for me. It was just about staying focused on the ball and getting my head to it.
"It was a crazy week. I had no thoughts of leaving Celtic, but Swansea came in. It was a good project for me to go down to the Championship and restart.
"I loved my time at Celtic. I had some amazing memories, but it was probably time for me to move on and have a fresh start."
Idah could make his Swansea debut on Saturday against Hull City.
