Yeovil Town announce signing of Alan Tate in completely brilliant way

As tweets about new loan signings into the Championship go, this one is top class.

As tweets about new loan signings into the Championship go, this one is top class.

Inspired by the rather large fuss last night’s new royal arrival caused, Yeovil Town decided to roll out similar treatment for what the stork brought them today.

No, not a baby but Swansea defender Alan Tate, who has joined Gary Johnson’s team on loan until January. Tate, a long-time member of the set-up at Swansea, hasn’t kicked a ball in pre-season, so we suspect Michael Laudrup is happy enough to see him go.

Still, at least his move down the divisions was handled with the sort of classy announcement you never see in football. We hope this trend continues.
