Fabián Rodrigo Yantorno Blengio (born 4 September 1982) is a former Uruguayan professional footballer who last played as a midfielder for Sud América. Yantorno has played for several clubs in South America and the United Kingdom.[1]
Club career
Yantorno was born on 4 September 1982, in Montevideo, Uruguay. He first moved to Scotland when he joined Scottish Premier League newcomers Gretna in June 2007 from Uruguayan First Division club Miramar Misiones.[2] In February 2008 Yantorno was ruled out for the rest of the season due to a serious knee injury. He was released by Gretna because they were unable to afford his rehabilitation.[3]
Hibernian then offered him the use of their medical and training facilities, and he signed a two-year contract with them on 8 August 2008.[4] He struggled to secure a place in the Hibs first team, and during January a loan to Hamilton Academical for the rest of the 2008–09 season was arranged.[5] The deal was cancelled, however, as Hamilton had already signed one senior player (Paul McGowan) on loan from a Scottish Premier League club and were therefore unable to sign Yantorno on loan.[5] Yantorno did not feature for Hibs after that, and the club declined their option to extend his contract for another season.[6] Yantorno signed for Conference National team Chester City on 15 July 2009,[7] but was released on 3 September due to his failure to overcome a knee injury.[8]
He joined League One club Hartlepool United on trial in July 2010[9] and signed a permanent deal at the club on the eve of the 2010–11 season, subject to international clearance.[10] He scored his first goal for Hartlepool in a 4–1 Football League Trophy defeat against Sheffield Wednesday on 10 November 2010.[11]
In May 2011 he was not offered a new contract by the club, along with nine other players from the 2010/11 squad.[12]
In February 2012, he signed a new deal with Uruguayan Primera División side Rentistas. Yantorno moved to Colombian club Atlético Bucaramanga later in 2012.
