"I first heard of the interest back in January, when I was playing for Shamrock Rovers. Interest grew more in the summer and I knew the deal was going to get done. It's something to look forward to and I can't wait to get going.
"I'm direct, I like going at defenders and coming in off the left and the right."
Emakhu played his last game for Shamrock Rovers against UCD in November, taking his total appearances for the Irish club to 46 in all competitions.
