Born in Goa, Fernandes began his career with the Sesa Football Academy before signing a professional contract with I-League side Salgaocar in 2011.[1] During his first season with the club, Fernandes helped Salgaocar win the I-League and Federation Cup titles.[1]

In 2015, Fernandes was part of the Indian Super League Draft where he was selected in the second round by Atlético de Kolkata.[2] After spending the 2015 season with Atlético on loan, Fernandes decided to join Pune City on loan for the 2016 ISL season.[1]

On 23 July 2017, Fernandes was selected in the 12th round of the 2017–18 ISL Players Draft by ATK for the 2017–18 Indian Super League season.[3] He was released by the club in January 2018 without making a single appearance for the side.[4]

A year later, on 25 January 2019, Fernandes was signed by fellow Indian Super League club, Jamshedpur.[5]

Fernandes made his international senior debut for India on 12 November 2015 in a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Guam.
