Fernando García Puchades (born 13 June 1994), commonly known as Nando, is a Spanish footballer who plays for French club FC Sochaux-Montbéliard on loan from Deportivo Alavés mainly as a right winger.

Club career

Born in Valencia, Nando joined Valencia CF's youth setup in 2007, aged 13. On 7 August 2013 he was loaned to Ribarroja CF in Tercera División,[1] making his debut as a senior for the side during the campaign.

Nando returned to the Che in the middle of 2014, being assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B.[2] On 8 April 2015 he renewed his contract until 2018,[3] after being linked to FC Barcelona and Real Madrid.[4]

On 16 July 2015 Nando was loaned to Córdoba CF in Segunda División, for one year.[5] He made his professional debut on 22 August, starting in a 1–0 home win against Real Valladolid.[6]

Nando scored his first professional goal on 29 November 2015, netting his team's second in a 2–1 home win against Real Oviedo.[7] On 1 August of the following year he joined the latter, signing a one-year loan deal.[8]

Nando appeared in the 2017 pre-season with Valencia's main squad, but on 26 August of that year, he signed a three-year contract with fellow La Liga side Deportivo Alavés, being immediately loaned to Lorca FC in the second division.[9] On 2 July of the following year, he moved to Ligue 2 side FC Sochaux-Montbéliard also on a one-year loan deal.[10]
