On his decision to leave Perth, Rooney told St Johnstone's website: “I thoroughly enjoyed my two seasons at St Johnstone. They have been the happiest and most successful of my career.
"The memories of scoring in both cup finals will never leave me. The pleasure it gave the St Johnstone supporters was an absolute privilege and an honour for me.
“To round it off by scoring our fourth goal on Monday night will be unforgettable. Getting the chance to celebrate in front of a jumping McDiarmid Park will never leave me.
“However, I want to try my luck down South once again and Fleetwood Town are giving me the opportunity to do so.
“I would like to wish the gaffer (Callum Davidson), the coaching staff, Liam Gordon and the squad, the Board and the supporters all the very best for the future.”
