Investigators released the CCTV footage this week from West Tamworth Leagues Club on the night of July 22 as they try and find who was behind the "unprovoked assault".
Police have already interviewed the male victim as well as witnesses but are still trying to identify the attacker.
The offender struck the victim on the back as he went to walk into the club, off Phillip Street in West Tamworth, about 11.10pm.
An Oxley police spokesperson said the attack was "concerning" and "disturbing".
"This was an unprovoked assault," the spokesperson confirmed.
"The man was not targeted, we believe it was random."

"Any information anyone has, police would be greatly assisted by this."
The offender was wearing dark clothing at the time, including a hooded jumper with white writing on the back, with a cap underneath, and three-quarter pants, with dark-coloured joggers.
