Black Stars midfielder Abdul Salis has secured promotion to the English Premier League with Sunderland after beating Ipswich 2-1 in the playoffs.

Sunderland had to come from a goal down to defeat the blades 2-1 at Wembley. Tyrese Campbell gave Sheffield United the lead in the first half, but Sunderland recovered in the second half with Eliezer Mayenda netting the equalizer before second half substitute Tom Watson snatched a late winner.

Salis who was an unused substitute in the finals is likely to leave if the club decides not to make his loan move permanent. His season was marred with injuries and a return to RC Lens remains the likeliest possibility.

He made 10 appearances this season.
