Marc Fernández Gracia (born 24 April 1990) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a right winger for FC Andorra.[1]

Club career[]

Born in Corbera de Llobregat, Barcelona, Catalonia, Fernández made his senior debut in 2009–10, with Tercera División club CE Europa on loan from CE Sabadell FC.[2] After playing regularly for the latter during the following season and scoring five goals, including one against SD Eibar during the promotion play-offs (1–1 away draw, qualification on the away goals rule),[3][4] he signed with Segunda División team FC Cartagena unilaterally on 8 July 2011 when his contract had recently been renewed;[5] eventually, the Liga de Fútbol Profesional sided with the player.[6]

Fernández joined RCD Mallorca on 10 July 2012, being initially assigned to the reserves who competed in the third level.[7] He made his La Liga debut for the first team on 18 August, coming on as a 74th-minute substitute for Emilio Nsue in a 2–1 home victory over RCD Espanyol.[8]

On 14 January 2014, after an aborted transfer to Espanyol, Fernández moved abroad and signed for Bnei Sakhnin F.C. in the Israeli Premier League.[9] He returned to the former club in the summer, however, joining its B-team.[10]

Fernández continued competing in the Spanish third tier in the following years, representing in quick succession Sabadell,[11] UE Llagostera[12] and UCAM Murcia CF.[13]

Greece[]

On 31 May 2018, the 28-year-old agreed to a two-year deal at Superleague Greece's Asteras Tripolis FC.[14] He finished his first year with eight goals across all competitions.

Fernández scored his first goal for the 2019–20 campaign on 15 September 2019, in a 2–1 away loss against Xanthi FC.[15] Six days later, his brace helped the hosts to a 2–1 home defeat of Atromitos FC.[16]

On 8 September 2020, he joined Apollon Smyrnis FC on a free transfer. [17] His first goal for the club came with a nice header in a 4-3 home loss against AEK Athens FC, on 13 December 2020. [18] The following week, Marc received a nice low cross inside the penalty area and scored helping to a 1-0 away win against Panetolikos FC. [19]
