Some Leeds United fans have been reacting to the news Pablo Hernandez has returned to CD Castellon.

The Spaniard has re-joined his hometown club on a three-year deal following his release by the Whites.

Hernandez enjoyed a fine career with the Yorkshire outfit. He joined Leeds on an initial loan deal back in August 2016, before making his move permanent just six months later.

The 36-year-old helped Leeds return to the Premier League after a 16-year absence. All in all, the attacking midfielder scored 36 times and registered 41 assists in 175 games.

Hernandez is a Leeds legend

Hernandez is a Leeds legend amid news he has returned to Castellon.

The player is arguably the most heroic figure in recent history for the club given his importance to the side.

During the 2019/2020 promotion campaign, he scored nine times and registered nine assists in just 36 games. His contributions helped amass 12 of the side’s 93 points in the Championship.

Here is how some Leeds fans reacted after he found a new club…

Need to arrange a friendly with next preseason

Also, give him the no.19 and the armband. The most romantic end to a football career would be for him to get you promoted twice in the next three years or something crazy

Finally a Spanish team for all Leeds fans to follow. Good luck and all the best Pablo. ♥️
