Is this the worst player unveiling ever? Yeovil Town use Tinder to announce signing

YEOVIL TOWN raised the stakes of signing announcements after a groundbreaking unveiling this weekend.

This year seems to have thrown up just about every different type of social media unveiling.

But the League Two side produced something truly groundbreaking to confirm the arrival of Oscar Gobern.

And despite the transfer window not even open yet, this is definitely the most ridiculous one to date after the use of Tinder.

The Glovers used the dating app to swipe left on the likes of , , Lee Trundle and Robbie Savage before they eventually matched with Gobern.

It really is a piece of work - and you can check it out below.

The 26-year-old former England youth international has been training with Yeovil for the past three weeks before agreeing a non-contract agreement with the South West outfit.

Gobern, who left Ross County in the summer, arrives as a free agent and takes the No.20 shirt.

Speaking to the club's website, 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."

It is not the first time that Yeovil have come up with an innovative way of announcing a player's arrival.

Back in June they used Snapchat's location feature to confirm the addition of Jake Gray from Luton Town.

Now the countdown is on for next month's transfer window to re-open so we can see what their social media team can come up with next.
