The Blues have snapped up the 19-year-old Spaniard on a six-month contract, starting life at St Andrew’s in the Under-23s.
A number of Birmingham City fans have taken to Twitter to comment on the announcement that Miguel Fernandez has joined the St Andrew’s club on a six-month contract.
The 19-year-old Spaniard, who can play as a midfielder or forward, has been snapped up to develop with the Blues’ Under-23s, as confirmed by the Championship club’s website.
Fernandez came through the ranks at UE Cornella in Spain and spent a trial period with Birmingham last season, while this term he featured in several friendlies for Xavi Calm’s side.
He has now committed to the club on a full contract, the club adding that Michael Luyambula, Cameron McGilp and Francis Amartey were brought in on similar short-term deals last season so as to blood them in the Under-23s and assess them.
Fernandez becomes the latest arrival from Cornella – who were coached by Calm last season – with Augustin Medina also having made the switch to St Andrew’s earlier in the summer (Birmingham Mail).
Here is what some Birmingham fans said on social media regarding the teenager being signed by the club:
Birmingham’s Under-23s get their home campaign underway in the Professional Development League on Friday against Charlton Athletic’s Under-23s at Leamington FC, while the first team will lock horns with Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Saturday.
