Club career

Born in Cartagena, Murcia Fernández joined UCAM Murcia CF's youth setup in 2015, from Elche CF.[1] On 22 June 2016, after finishing his formation, he renewed his contract and was assigned to the reserves in Tercera División.[2]

Fernández made his senior debut on 21 August 2016, starting in a 4–0 home routing of EDMF Churra. He scored his first goal on 6 November, but in a 1–2 loss at Lorca FC B.

On 18 July 2017, Fernández was promoted to the main squad in Segunda División B.[3] A backup option in 2017–18, he became an undisputed starter in 2018–19.

On 2 July 2019, Fernández signed a three-year contract with Segunda División side Real Oviedo.[4] He made his professional debut on 24 August, starting in a 1–1 home draw against CD Lugo.[5]

On 31 January 2020, after featuring sparingly, Fernández moved to Villarreal CF B on loan for the remainder of the season.[6] On 20 September, he terminated his contract with the Carbayones,[7] and agreed to a three-year deal with San Fernando CD just hours later.[8]
