The highly-rated Spaniard arrived on Tyneside in January, linking up with Peter Beardsley’s U-23 set up. Fernandez was, however, a surprise inclusion in Rafa Benitez’s senior squad that spent a week training camp in Ireland, and has since went on to star for the U-23’s, scoring an outstanding solo goal against Gateshead – one to watch next season perhaps?
