Aitor Fernández López (born 23 August 1986), known simply as Aitor, is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a right-back.
Born in Valdepares, Asturias, Aitor began his career with Racing de Santander, but only appeared for the reserves during his spell with the club. He also had a loan stint with SD Ponferradina, and joined the Segunda División B side permanently in 2008.[1]
In the summer of 2009, Aitor signed for RCD Espanyol, but again only featured with the B team also in the third division.[2] After a sole season he moved to another club in that tier, Pontevedra CF.[3]
Aitor signed for CD Lugo – yet in division three – in July 2011,[4] being first choice as the campaign ended in promotion. On 19 July 2012, he penned a two-year contract with CD Guadalajara.[5]
Aitor made his Segunda División debut on 19 August 2012, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 away draw against AD Alcorcón.[6] On 22 September he scored his first goal as a professional, but in a 3–4 home loss to Real Madrid Castilla.[7]
After suffering relegation, Aitor represented Hércules CF and CD Mirandés, both in the second tier. On 15 September 2015 the 29-year-old moved abroad for the first time in his career, joining Indian Super League team Mumbai City FC.[8]
On returning from Asia, Aitor signed in May 2016 for Real Avilés CF of his home region ahead of their participation in the Tercera División play-offs.[9] Following their elimination, he moved on to FC Zirka Kropyvnytskyi of the Ukrainian First League.[10]
At the end of the January 2017 transfer window, Aitor returned to Spain and joined struggling Extremadura UD.[11] He played regularly in his first full season, as the club won promotion to the second division for the first time in its history.[12]
Aitor signed with third-tier Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa on 28 August 2019, after terminating his contract.[13]
