Club career

Born in Portimão, Algarve, Fernandes started his career with local Portimonense SC. In the summer of 2007, he joined Varzim S.C. on loan as a replacement for Bruno Miguel,[2] returning at the end of the season and renewing his contract for another year.[3]

Fernandes made his debut in the Primeira Liga in the 2010–11 campaign, playing 20 games and scoring once[4] as his team was relegated one year after being promoted. He only returned to the top division for 2013–14 after signing with G.D. Estoril Praia,[5] taking part in two UEFA Europa League campaigns with the team and scoring a late equaliser as a substitute in a 1–1 group stage draw against eventual champions Sevilla FC, on 28 November 2013.[6]

In late April 2015, as his contract with the Lisbon outskirts club was about to expire, Fernandes hinted in his Facebook page he was open to negotiations for its renewal.[7] However, in June, he signed a two-year deal with the option for a third one with promoted Belgian Pro League side Sint-Truidense V.V.[8] In September, he stated in an interview that the main reason for moving abroad was to experience another championship.[9]

Fernandes scored his first goal for his new team on 24 July 2015, to help the hosts defeat Club Brugge KV 2–1.[10] His second came on 19 September, in a 3–0 away victory over K.V.C. Westerlo.[11]

Fernandes then returned to his country's top tier, where he represented Portimonense[12] and Gil Vicente FC.[13]

International career

Fernandes won three caps for the Portuguese under-20 team, all in 2006. His first arrived on 5 October, in a 6–0 defeat of São Tomé and Príncipe for the Lusophony Games.[14]
