Harrogate Town goes viral after using Inbetweeners to announce signing

Harrogate Town have garnered the attention of the social media world with another hilarious signing video.

Last week the club announced midfielder Jack Evans from Halifax Town.

And in true Town style, the club's creative social media team unveiled the signing with a spoof video of popular TV sitcom The Inbetweeners.

The video features a scene in the show when Will McKenzie, played by Simon Bird, throws a frisbie that unfortunately doesn't fly towards its intended target.

But in this version, the frisbie morphs into a football and strikes Jack Evans on the back - who turns to the camera and smiles.

And it's been seen by more than 3.2 million people on X (Twitter) and a further 540,000 on Facebook.

The 24-year-old signs from Halifax Town and will take the number four shirt at Town.

Speaking on his decision to join Harrogate, Evans revealed:

“I spoke with The Gaffer and Paul Thirlwell about where I fit into the plans here and the more I got to know about the club, the more it aligned with myself as a player and a person.

“I’ve loved my time at Halifax and have a lot of respect for the Manager and players there, but as a young ambitious player I want to be playing in the EFL and the aim now is to come and prove myself at an established club.

“I’m made up to get the deal done early and can’t wait to meet up with all the boys and get started in pre-season.”
