Nottingham Forest striker Britt Assombalonga has taken to social networking site Twitter to revel in his side’s success in retaining their Championship status for the 2017-18 campaign.

Forest have finished the season 21st in the league table with 51 points from 46 points and have escaped the drop to League One on goal difference.

Assombalonga has taken to Twitter to express his delight at Forest’s success in avoiding relegation to League One, with the club’s fans responding to his message on the social networking site.
