Former Newcastle United youngster Víctor Fernández has signed for Romanian top-flight side Viitorul Constanta after being released.

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.
