Club career

Born in Castilleja de Guzmán, Province of Seville, Andalusia, Fernández started playing senior football with Sevilla FC's reserve team at only 17, competing in Segunda División B.[1] On 18 December 2013, he made his official debut with the main squad, coming on as a substitute for Piotr Trochowski in a 0–2 home loss against Racing de Santander for the round of 32 in the Copa del Rey.[2]

On 2 March 2014, still before his 18th birthday, Fernández first appeared in La Liga, replacing fellow youth graduate José Antonio Reyes midway through the second half of an eventual 1–0 victory over Real Sociedad also at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium.[3] He scored a career-best 17 goals for the B-side during the 2015–16 campaign, helping in their promotion to Segunda División.[4]

Fernández scored his first professional goal on 21 August 2016, in the reserves' 3–3 home draw with Girona FC.[5] Three weeks later he netted for the first time in the top flight with the first team, scoring the second of two late goals in a 2–1 home defeat of UD Las Palmas.[6]

During a training session in early October 2016, Fernández partially ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament to his left knee, going on to miss the rest of the season.[7] He returned to training the following April,[8] and continued to appear mostly for the B-team.

On 30 August 2018, Fernández was loaned to second level club Deportivo de La Coruña for one year.[9] On 14 August of the following year, he moved to Granada CF of the top tier also in a temporary deal.[10]
