Career

Menino de Ouro and early career

Fernando competed in the 2013 edition of Brazilian reality television show Menino de Ouro (Golden Boy), in which a number of young footballers competed to win a contract at a club in São Paulo. Having impressed judges Zetti and Edmílson, Fernando won the show, earning a contract at professional side Palmeiras.[2] A short spell with Desportivo Brasil followed, before he joined the academy of Bahia.[3]

Professional career

Having progressed through the academy of Bahia, Fernando was promoted to the first team in March 2016, and went on to make his professional debut in the same month, featuring in two Copa do Nordeste games.[3] He was used sparingly over the next three years, and would go on to feature in a total of six games for the club.[4]

In mid-2019, it was announced that Fernando would join Danish 1st Division side Næstved on a permanent basis.[4] Despite having signed a four-year contract, he left the club in March 2021 after only one full season, having returned to Brazil in 2020, following the club's relegation to the Danish 2nd Division.[5]

Following his return to Brazil, he joined Jacuipense.[6] After half a season with Jacuipense, he moved to Taubaté on a permanent deal ahead of the 2022 season.[7] He spent four months with Taubaté, amassing eleven appearances in the Campeonato Paulista A2, before returning to Jacuipense in April 2022.[6] On 12 January 2023, he was announced as a new signing for Campeonato Brasileiro Série D team CRAC.[8] He made his debut three days later, in a 2–0 win against Iporá on 15 January.[9]
