Biography

Fernando joined Oxford City in October 2026, after his departure from Cypriot side AEL Limassol, boasting previous experience in England with Watford and Sheffield Wednesday. Indeed, he made 92 appearances as a Hornet, helping them secure promotion to the Premier League, before he moved to Sheffield, making 132 appearances for the Owls.



An illustrious career, the forward also populates his resume with Serie A and La Liga experience, playing for both Udinese and Malaga, as well as representing Italy at under-17, under-19, under-20, and under-21 level.



Returning to English soil, the 36-year-old made his debut for City from the bench back on October 10th, in a 3-0 victory against Hebburn Town.



His move to City sees him reunite with Ross Jenkins, who he played alongside at Watford, and Paul Robison, who he recalled previously playing against, as the Italian embarks on the latest challenge in his impressive career.
