A fuel injector to reduce NOemissions in a combustor system. The fuel injector including a housing, at least one oxidizer flow path, extending axially through the fuel injector housing and defining therein one or more oxidizer flow paths for an oxidizer stream and a fuel manifold, extending axially through the fuel injector housing and defining therein one or more fuel flow path. The fuel manifold includes a forward portion and an aft portion including an aft face. A plurality of fuel injector outlets are defined in the aft portion, wherein the plurality of fuel injector outlets are configured to inject a fuel flow along a mid-plane of the fuel injector and away from a downstream wall. The fuel flow exiting the fuel manifold undergoes circumferential and radial mixing upon interaction with the oxidizer stream. Additionally disclosed is a combustor system including the fuel injector.
