Football clubs have gone to extraordinary lengths to announce new signings this year, but Yeovil Town have broken new ground.

The League Two outfit took to the popular dating app Tinder to reveal the signing of Oscar Gobern on a free transfer.

A short video on the club's Twitter account showed them swiping left - to indicate they didn't like - Lionel Messi, Neymar, Ronaldo and even former Swansea striker Lee Trundle, before settling on Gobern.

Yeovil Town used dating app Tinder to reveal their new signing - but it wasn't Lionel Messi

Shortly after Gobern returned the compliment and club and player were matched.

The announcement of Gobern follows a series of unorthodox methods used by Yeovil to reveal their new signings.

In the summer they revealed Southampton youngster Olufela Olomola on loan through FIFA 17's career mode.

They also had Countdown's Rachel Riley annouce James Bailey's contract extension.
