Ghana defender Jonathan Mensah has congratulated Ashantigold SC after the Obuase-based club won the Premier League title on Sunday.

Ashantigold defeated WAFA 1-0 in Obuasi to dethrone neighbours, Asante Kotoko as the 2014-15 Premier League winners.

Emmanuel Osei was the hero of the afternoon after converting a 72nd minute penalty to hand the Miners the points which guaranteed them their fourth league title.

And Mensah - who started his youth career with Ashgold between 2004 and 2008 - tweeted his delight with coach Bashir Hayford's side on their league triumph following side a six point lead ahead of the final game of the season.

The last time Ashgold won the Ghana Premier League was in 1996.
