Career

Born in Sant Cugat del Vallès, Barcelona, Catalonia,[2] Fernández started his career at FC Sant Cugat Esport before joining UE Cornellà's youth setup. On 3 January 2016, aged just 16, he made his first team debut by coming on as a late substitute in a 2–1 Segunda División B away win against CF Reus Deportiu.[3]

On 3 February 2017, Fernández moved abroad and joined Newcastle United, being assigned to the under-23 squad.[4] In 2018, he suffered a heel injury, subsequently picking up a hip problem which kept him out for the entire 2018–19 campaign; he returned to action in July 2019.[5]

On 31 July 2020, after being released by Newcastle, Fernández moved to Romanian Liga I side FC Viitorul Constanța after signing a three-year contract.[6] He made his professional debut on 22 August, replacing Ștefan Bodișteanu in a 1–1 home draw against FC UTA Arad.[7] He then joined FC Botosani for an undisclosed fee. He left them in the same month to join back his former club UE Cornellà on a free transfer on the 30th of January 2021. He made his second spell debut at the club in a 4–3 win to RCD Espanyol B. He scored the 3rd goal in the game after coming on as a substitute. On his second game for the Spanish club he scored another goal.
