Mensah, who joined Aldershot Town on loan last week from Bristol Rovers after his ill-fated loan spell at Lincoln City, scored in 49th-minute to cancel out Conor Wilkinson's 49th-minute strike to earn a vital point for his new side.

It is Mensah's second stint at Electrical Services Stadium after spending 2016 to 2018 there, making 56 appearances and scoring 14 goals in the process.

The 24-year-old striker is expected to use his experience to help the club escape relegation as they lie 22nd on the league table with 28 points from 30 matches.

He has previously played for Watford, Braintree town, Bristol Rovers and Lincoln City (loan).

Mensah is eligible to play for Ghana or England but has yet to represent either country at any level.

In 2011, Mensah trained with the Ghana squad ahead of their friendly against Nigeria at Vicarage Road.

However, he was not called up by Ghana and was asked to join the squad for training due to their depleted squad.
