English-born Ghanaian midfielder, Benjamin Brako Boateng Mensah has sealed Championship qualification with Peterborough United FC.

Mensah made three appearances for his side this season, having featured prominently for the U-18 side.

Darren Ferguson’s men booked their Championship place for next season following their 2-2 draw with Doncaster Rovers on Tuesday.

Joe Ward opened the scoring for Peterborough United with a smart early strike before Sammie Szmodics slid in to double the advantage when converting Jack Taylor's cut-back in the 23rd minute.

Fejiri Okenabirhie halved the deficit for Doncaster from the edge of the box seven minutes before the break.

The visitors completed their fightback when substitute Taylor Richards tucked away Jason Lokilo's low cross in the 59th minute.

Neither side could strike again in a breathless second period.

Peterborough United are 2nd on the league table with 83 points after 44 matches played.
