Fernández joins Liga I side
Written by Dan King
Víctor Fernández has signed for Romanian top-flight side Viitorul Constanta after being released by Newcastle United.
The 22-year-old Spaniard has signed a three-year contract with the Ovidiu-based outfit, who are owned and managed by the legendary Gheorghe Hagi.
Fernández joined Newcastle in January 2017 from Spanish outfit UE Cornella, and won the player of the tournament award as United were crowned Hong Kong Football Club Citi Soccer Sevens champions in 2018.
Quick, direct and skilful, he played for the first team in a handful of friendly matches but was hampered by some untimely injuries and didn't make a competitive appearance before he left the club at the end of his contract last month.
Rob Elliot, Jack Colback, Jamie Sterry and fellow youngsters Liam Gibson and Nathan Harker also departed at the end of June. Charman has since signed for National League North side Darlington.
