Ex-Newcastle, Tottenham defender Bassong picks up two promotion medals!

Sebastien Bassong has landed two Premier League promotion medals this season.

The 28-year old French defender helped Norwich City beat Middlesbrough 2-0 in the promotion play-off at Wembley as the Canaries return to England's top flight.

Earlier in the season, the former Newcastle United and Tottenham man made 11 appearances on loan for Watford who finished second in the Championship to land automatic promotion.

Bassong rejoiced in the moment by posting a photo alongside Arsenal legend Thierry Henry after Norwich's triumph in London.
