Newcastle United midfielder Jonas Gutierrez has thanked the club's fans for their support during a turbulent campaign that saw him given the all-clear from testicular cancer.
Gutierrez returned to action for the side back in February and scored the winning goal as the Magpies beat West Ham United 2-0 on Sunday to secure their Premier League status.
The midfielder posted on Twitter: "Thanks newcastle fans proud to be a Geordie the best for all in the future. This city deserve premiere league football."
