Adding footer in Metro Pro (and other themes)

[bgmahesh]

I have seen https://my.studiopress.com/documentation/snippets/footer/customize-the-site-footer/ which talks about adding code in Appearance->Customize->Theme Settings->Footer

Please see the current footer of https://www.immigrationworld.com/. The code in functions.php is,

add_filter( 'genesis_footer_creds_text', 'custom_footer_creds_text' );
function custom_footer_creds_text() {
echo '<div>Feedback | Disclaimer</div><div class="footerMessage">Copyright © '; echo date('Y'); echo ' immigrationworld.com. </div>';
}

I want to move the code from here to the theme as I don't want to touch PHP files directly. I want the appearance to be the same when I move the code to Theme Settings (black background, centered etc.)

How do I achieve this?

Thank you for your time
