Andre Ayew secures Championship playoffs with Swansea City

Andre Ayew and his Swansea City side have confirmed their place in the English Championship playoffs.

The Ghanaian was on target as they held Reading to a 2-2 draw over the weekend.

Ayew and his side will now be competing for the only available slot for the Premiership together with Barnsley, Bournemouth and Brentford who have all secured places in the playoffs.

“It’s great to be in the play-offs a few weeks before because we can really get ready for what’s coming. We need to use that to our advantage,” the Black Stars captain said.

This will be the second season running Swansea will be playing in the playoffs after losing to Fulham last term.

Watford and Hull City have already claimed two slots and will be playing in English top flight next season.
