“I thought he did well, he contributed to the game didn’t he,” Weaver told the Harrogate Advertiser post-match.

“He put some good balls in, one which ultimately led to our second goal.

“He’s technically very good - as you can see - but he’s going to be, coming from Leeds United.

“We’re just having an early look at him.”

Leeds United hero Pablo Hernandez is set to rejoin hometown club CD Castellon following his release from Elland Road.

The playmaker - who is a co-owner of the Spanish club - has previously stated his desire to retire with his boyhood team at the end of a stellar playing career.
