Ghana international Gideon Mensah is proud of AJ Auxerre squad after helping the club to make a quick return to Ligue 1 in France.
The Black Stars defender played a pivotal role across the season, capping the campaign with a solid display in the 4-1 victory over Concarneau on Friday.
Auxerre had secured promotion last week and were confirmed champions before their game on Friday, but the team waited for the coronation in front of their fans.
Mensah received his medal for winning the league and is already looking forward to the upcoming campaign.
“It's been God Almighty, the willpower, and great resilience despite all the difficulties. We made it to the TOP. Super proud of this squad and what we've accomplished together” he wrote on Instagram.
Mensah enjoyed two season in Ligue 1 before suffering demotion with Auxerre last season.
He is likely to make Otto Addo's team for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Mali and the Central African Republic next week.
