Non-league side Oxford City announce new signing - in McDonald's

Table of Contents

English non-league outfit Oxford City have become a source of ridicule after unveiling their new signing in a chain of McDonald's.

The club finished 14th in the National League South last season and have already been moving in the transfer market with the signing of Havant and Waterlooville striker Matt Paterson.

The announcement, though, came with a twist as the new addition was pictured penning his deal not from the club's boardroom, but from the window booth at a local McDonald's restaurant.

It became such a hit that McDonald's were forced to respond themselves.

Good in the box and often lifting a cup, we’re big fans of @OxCityFC’s tasty new signing! https://t.co/j5J6HPsN1i
