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]
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.

Season 2008–09 for Hibernian was their tenth consecutive season of play in the Scottish Premier League. The SPL season began on 9 August 2008 with a 1–0 defeat at Kilmarnock. The team were eliminated from each cup competition at the first hurdle, due to defeats by IF Elfsborg in the last Intertoto Cup, Greenock Morton in the Scottish League Cup and Edinburgh derby rivals Hearts in the Scottish Cup. The team was inconsistent in the league, and only squeezed into the top six by a single point ahead of Motherwell. This led to the resignation of manager Mixu Paatelainen at the end of the season. One bright spot for the club was the performance of the under-19 team, which won the Scottish league & cup double.
