Club career

Born in Sant Cugat del Vallès, Barcelona, Catalonia,[1] 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.[2]

On 3 February 2017, Fernández moved abroad and joined Newcastle United, being assigned to the under-23 squad.[3] 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.[4]

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.[5] He made his professional debut on 22 August, replacing Ștefan Bodișteanu in a 1–1 home draw against FC UTA Arad.[6]
