Newcastle winger Cordero joins Cadiz on loan

Newcastle United winger Antonio Cordero is joining Spanish side Cadiz on loan after his temporary switch to Westerlo did not work out.

Cordero had previously been due to spend the season in Belgium after completing a loan move to Westerlo last summer.

But Cordero has since been recalled by Newcastle following a review of loans by sporting director Ross Wilson.

The 19-year-old, who failed to make a single start at Westerlo, will see out the rest of the campaign at Cadiz.

Cordero previously spent a season at Cadiz's academy in his formative years, and also has experience of playing in the Spanish second division from his more recent spell at Malaga.

Cordero joined Newcastle on a free transfer from Malaga back in July and was billed as an "exciting talent" by Paul Mitchell, the club's former sporting director.
