Michael Gash is 'on top of the world' after helping Barnet win promotion back to the Football League.
The striker scored three times in 15 appearances since joining the club in January and he felt fantastic after seeing the Bees win the Conference title.
Mauro Vilhete's brace was enough to give the Bees a 2-0 win over Gateshead, which was all they needed to do to claim the trophy for a record third time.
He said: “I am on top of the world. It is such a fantastic feeling. To be involved with a team which has been fighting all year for the championship and to come in halfway through the season and try to fit in and give my two pennies’ worth has been absolutely magnificent.
“It is the best moment of my career without a doubt. I have had opportunities to go the league and unfortunately clubs have turned bids down.
“It is definitely the hardest league to get out of. I have lost in the play-offs, lost in the play-off final and finished as a runner-up.
“You wonder if it is ever going to happen but the gaffer gave me an opportunity to come here and to win it like that with a performance like that (was brilliant).”
After having problems at Kidderminster Harriers and a loan move to Nuneaton, Gash was delighted to have the chance to come to Barnet and challenge for promotion.
He added: “I was at Kiddy and there were a few problems at Kidderminster so I had to go out on loan. My wife was pregnant at the time so I did not want to go too far.
“So Nuneaton were there, I knew Liam Daish which was helpful but the contrast is totally different. Playing for them (Nuneaton), with all due respect, they are a part-time team.
“But coming here, the quality of players, training and the hunger the gaffer gets out of the players is unbelievable.
“You can’t leave the training pitch unless you have given 100 per cent, so going from a team fighting relegation to a team fighting for the championship and then coming to the final day in front of a packed crowd is fantastic.”
