Newport Country announced their transfer deadline day signing of Nicky Maynard in supreme style.
Maynard joins the club on loan from Mansfield Town until the end of the season, with his new club calling on the Grand Theft Auto franchise to share the news.
The clip was shared on the club’s official Twitter account, rethinking the iconic game to feature the Rodney Parade stadium.

The 34-year-old boasts 400 appearances across both the Football League and Premier League.
After completing the deal, Maynard said: “I had a few offers from clubs in this league and in League One, but the gaffer got hold of me, told me about the club and how it’s going forward, so hopefully it works out for me here.
“I want to come in, score goals and help the team push towards the top of the table.”
Manager Michael Flynn told club media: “Nicky has been a proven goalscorer throughout his career and will bring a wealth of experience to the club. He knows what it takes to get to League One after his promotion with Bury a few seasons ago.
“He’s still a player who is very hungry and I’m sure he will score the goals to keep us at the top end of the table between now and the end of the season.”
