Andrés Eduardo Fernández Moreno (born 17 December 1986) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Villarreal CF as a goalkeeper.
He spent most of his career with Osasuna, making his first-team debut in 2007 and going on to appear in 115 official games.
Football career
Osasuna
After one year spent with RCD Mallorca's reserves, Fernández was promoted to CA Osasuna's first team for 2007–08 and played once during that season, in a 0–2 La Liga away loss against UD Almería on 21 October 2007, as starter Ricardo was suspended and Juan Elía was sent off in the 50th minute. For the following years he continued to be third-choice, as well as the undisputed starter at the B-side in the third division of Spanish football.[2]
In mid-July 2010, after consecutively helping the Navarrese's reserves retain their top flight status but failing to move up the first team's pecking order, Fernández joined second level club SD Huesca, on loan.[3] He returned for 2011–12 as Asier Riesgo's backup – 39-year-old Ricardo was still on the roster – replacing the latter due to injury during the first half of a 0–0 draw at Atlético Madrid[4] and eventually finishing the campaign as first-choice, appearing in all 38 league games and conceding 61 goals.
Porto
On 30 July 2014, Fernández signed a four-year contract with FC Porto, with the buy-out clause being set at €30 million. He became the fifth Spaniard to join the Portuguese club after compatriot Julen Lopetegui took over two months earlier.[5]
Fernández was loaned to Granada CF on 17 July 2015, in a season-long move.[6] On 25 July of the following year, after playing all the games but one to help his team again retain their top flight status, he joined fellow league side Villarreal CF also in a temporary deal.[7]
Villarreal
On 22 June 2017, Fernández joined Villarreal on a permanent four-year deal.[8] He had finished his first season as starter due to Sergio Asenjo's serious knee injury but, on 25 August, during a league game away to Real Sociedad, met the same fate.[9]
