Club career

[edit]

Born in Burela, Province of Lugo, Fernández was a youth product of neighbouring Deportivo de La Coruña.[2] He made his debut as a senior with the reserves, representing them in the Tercera División and scoring 21 goals in the 2012–13 season.[3]

Fernández made his official debut for the Galicians' first team on 17 August 2013, starting in a 1–0 away win over UD Las Palmas in the Segunda División.[4] He scored his first goal in the competition on 3 November, his team's last in the 2–0 home victory against Real Madrid Castilla.[5]

Fernández scored five goals from 28 appearances in 2013–14, as Depor returned to La Liga at the first attempt.[6] On 18 July 2014, he was loaned to neighbouring second-division club CD Lugo in a season-long deal;[7] still owned by the former, he joined SD Huesca of the same league the following campaign.[8]

On 21 July 2016, Fernández terminated his contract with Deportivo[9] and signed a two-year deal with AD Alcorcón just hours later.[10] On 10 January of the following year, he cut ties with the latter[11] and moved to the second tier with UCAM Murcia CF the next day.[12]

After suffering a knee injury, Fernández returned to Deportivo B on 1 September 2017 as a free agent.[13] He re-joined UCAM in July 2018, now on a permanent basis.[14]

On 3 July 2019, Fernández signed a two-year contract with Super League Greece club Asteras Tripolis F.C. for an undisclosed fee.[15] On 7 June 2020, he netted through a free kick in the 2–1 away defeat of Athlitiki Enosi Larissa F.C. in the opening game of the playoffs, after an 80-day enforced COVID-19 break.[16]

Fernández continued competing abroad the following seasons, with Khor Fakkan Club in the UAE Pro League[17] and Wisła Kraków in the Polish Ekstraklasa[18] and the I liga.[19] On 12 July 2023, he joined Lechia Gdańsk also from the country's second tier.[20]

On 22 July 2023, Fernández scored a hat-trick in a 4–2 away win against Chrobry Głogów, twice from penalties.[21] He totalled seven during the season in spite of missing several matches due to a meniscus injury,[22] helping Lechia to claim the championship and subsequently promote.[23]

In late September 2024, a month after an unsuccessful trial with fellow top-flight club Raków Częstochowa,[24] Fernández filed for his contract with Lechia to be unilaterally terminated,[25] citing unpaid wages and not being allowed to train with the rest of the squad.[26]
