What A Season- Gideon Mensah states after AJ Auxerre mark Ligue 1 return with 11th place finish

Ghana defender Gideon Mensah has spoken profoundly about how proud he is to wear the colours of French Ligue 1 side AJ Auxerre.

He made this feeling known in a statement he wrote on his X (formerly Twitter) page after the conclusion of the 2024-2025 season.

Auxerre finished 11^th in the 18 team league standings with 42 points on the back of bagging 11 wins, nine assists and 14 losses.

The 2024-2025 season marked Auxerre’s return to the French top flight division and ended the campaign with a 3-1 loss to league champions Paris Saint-Germain.

“What A Season…Proud to wear these colours, proud to be part of this group, proud to be at AJ Auxerre. A year full of hard work, passion, sweat, and most of all, love for this club” Mensah wrote on his X page.
