Former Sutherland Sharks midfielder Christopher Naumoff has joined Spanish second division club CD Numancia.
The 20-year-old was out of contract Sydney FC at the end of the last A-League season.
The Menai Hawks junior was the Sky Blues national youth league player’s player of the year in 2014 and made 50 appearances for the senior team, scoring three goals.
Naumoff has also represented Australia at under-20 and under-23 level. He will join the Spanish club on a three-year deal.
The Sky Blues will have a new look this season with Sutherland products Alex Gersbach [Norwegian Tippeligaen club Rosenborg], Naumoff and Jacob Tratt [released] no longer at the club.
Gersbach, 19, made his international debut for Australia in a friendly against Greece earlier this month.
The Sky Blues will face a Sydney derby against bitter rivals Western Sydney Wanderers in their A-League season opener at ANZ Stadium on October 8.
