Watch: Yeovil Town Just Announced Their New Signing Via Tinder

Changing the game.

Just when you thought every type of social media signing announcement had been done, Yeovil Town come up with something truly groundbreaking.

Over the summer, every club did their best to announce a signing in the most unique fashion and I'm sure you'll agree things got very bizarre.

But the most ridiculous you will ever come across has only just took placed today, with the window not even officially open.

That's because Yeovil Town just announced their latest acquisition through Tinder:

The League Two side used the dating app, with the likes of Neymar, Lionel Messi, Lee Trundle and Robbie Savage popping up before they matched with new signing Oscar Gobern.


The 26-year old, who left Scottish outfit Ross County in the summer, has been training with the Glovers for three weeks and has now put pen to paper - though weirdly it is on non-contract terms.

He takes the No.20 shirt at the club and goes straight into the squad for their Emirates FA Cup second round clash with Port Vale.

An England Under-19 youth international, he has turned out for Southampton, Huddersfield and QPR in his career.

Speaking to the official Yeovil website about the addition of Gobern, Yeovil boss Darren Way said:

"Oscar has been with us for three weeks now and from speaking to his previous managers and coaches he's a very determined and committed player.

"They're all the ingredients we need to improve our squad."

Yeovil have a knack of coming up with innovative ways of announcing their new signings, having unveiled a signing via Snapchat's location feature in the summer.

26 June 2017 was the day that the Huish Park club announced the addition of Jake Gray from Luton Town.

Here's what Twitter made of the method the Somerset side opted for when announcing the capture:

We eagerly await the next batshit mental signing announcement...
