Club career[]

Born in Murcia, Fernando finished his development in Valencia CF's youth system. He made his senior debut with Sangonera Atlético CF, spending one season in Segunda División B.

Fernando joined Real Murcia in the summer of 2010, playing two years with the reserves in Tercera División. In August 2012, he was loaned to neighbouring UCAM Murcia CF in the third division.[1]

Fernando made his official debut for Murcia on 11 September 2013, in a 2–0 away loss against Hércules CF in the second round of the Copa del Rey.[2] His first game in Segunda División occurred on 24 November, as he replaced field player Daniel Toribio after Casto was sent off in the 70th minute, and kept a clean sheet in the 0–0 draw at AD Alcorcón.[3]

On 5 July 2016, Fernando returned to UCAM Murcia, newly promoted to the second tier.[4] A backup to Biel Ribas, he featured in 12 league matches as his team suffered relegation, and signed a two-year contract with fellow league club UD Almería on 5 July 2017.[5]

A backup to René, Fernando renewed his contract with the Rojiblancos for a further two seasons on 22 May 2019.[6] He became a regular starter under new manager Guti, and agreed to a further extension until 2022 on 27 April 2020.[7]
