Josh Windass shared a brief five-word message with his former Sheffield Wednesday teammate, celebrating his back-to-back promotions. Despite the potential for Wednesday to return to League One, the memories of their recent promotion will linger with the club and its fans.
The Owls’ remarkable comeback in the playoffs, especially after a challenging first leg against Peterborough United, was a testament to their resilience. The dramatic 5-1 victory at Hillsborough, leading to a penalty shoot-out and eventually a win at Wembley, highlighted their determination to secure a place in the Championship.
Aden Flint played a crucial role in this comeback, despite spending a short time at Hillsborough before moving on to Mansfield Town. His contribution will be remembered fondly by Wednesday supporters, adding to the club’s rich history of memorable moments.
Aden Flint secures back-to-back promotions
Flint has made 43 starts for The Stags and was part of the team that secured promotion to League One with a win over Accrington Stanley last night.
The centre-back took to social media to share his delight, while his former teammate Josh Windass also congratulated him on consecutive promotions.
Writing on his Instagram story, Windass said: “Back to back @adenflint4. Love it.”
Flint extended his contract with Mansfield in January, so will be part of the team that plays in League One next season.
Wednesday’s future in the second tier remains in doubt, but they could well come up against Flint next season if they are relegated.
Sheffield Wednesday’s promotion seems a world away
Windass’s celebration of Flint’s success while reminiscing about their own recent promotion is heartwarming. It’s easy to lose sight of how recent that achievement was.
When the Owls triumphed at Wembley, they were on cloud nine. However, Moore’s departure and Munoz’s arrival swiftly brought supporters back down to earth.
Last summer’s handling of the situation was subpar, but the only redemption now lies in retaining Danny Rohl. Regardless of the league they’re in, he’s the ideal candidate to steer Wednesday in the right direction.
