Club career

Born in Anadia, Aveiro District, Fernandes spent his first three years as a senior in the third division. In July 2016, he signed with Segunda Liga club AD Fafe on loan from C.F. Os Belenenses,[1] making his debut as a professional on 31 July of that month in a 0–1 home loss against F.C. Vizela for the first stage of the Portuguese League Cup.[2] His maiden league appearance took place on 28 November, when he kept a clean sheet to help the visitors defeat S.L. Benfica B 1–0.[3]

Fernandes returned to the Estádio do Restelo for the 2017–18 season,[4] where he acted as third or fourth-choice. He made his Primeira Liga debut on 12 May 2018, coming on as a substitute for Muriel in the last nine minutes of the 0–1 away loss to Boavista F.C. for the last matchday.[5]
