Marc Fernández Gracia (born 24 April 1990) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a right winger for Gimnàstic de Tarragona.[1]
Club career
Spain
Born in Corbera de Llobregat, Barcelona, Catalonia, Fernández made his senior debut in 2009–10, with Tercera División club CE Europa on loan from CE Sabadell FC.[2] After playing regularly for the latter during the following season and scoring five goals, including one against SD Eibar during the promotion play-offs (1–1 away draw, qualification on the away goals rule),[3] [4] he signed with Segunda División team FC Cartagena unilaterally on 8 July 2011 when his contract had recently been renewed;[5] eventually, the Liga Nacional de Fútbol Profesional sided with the player.[6]
Fernández joined RCD Mallorca on 10 July 2012, being initially assigned to the reserves who competed in the third level.[7] He made his La Liga debut for the first team on 18 August, coming on as a 74th-minute substitute for Emilio Nsue in a 2–1 home victory over RCD Espanyol.[8]
On 14 January 2014, after an aborted transfer to Espanyol, Fernández moved abroad and signed for Bnei Sakhnin F.C. in the Israeli Premier League.[9] He returned to the former club in the summer, however, joining its B side.[10]
Fernández continued competing in the Spanish third tier the following years, representing in quick succession Sabadell,[11] UE Llagostera[12] and UCAM Murcia CF.[13]
Greece
On 31 May 2018, the 28-year-old Fernández agreed to a two-year deal at Super League Greece's Asteras Tripolis FC.[14] He finished his first year with eight goals in all competitions.
Fernández scored his first goal for the 2019–20 campaign on 15 September 2019, in a 2–1 away loss against Xanthi FC.[15] Six days later, his brace helped the hosts to a 2–1 home defeat of Atromitos FC.[16]
On 8 September 2020, Fernández joined Apollon Smyrnis F.C. on a free transfer.[17] His first goal for the club came through a header in a 3–4 home loss to AEK Athens F.C. on 13 December,[18] and the following week his 36th-minute strike proved essential to the 1–0 win over Panetolikos FC.[19]
Return home
Fernández returned to his homeland in June 2021, on a contract at FC Andorra in the newly created Primera División RFEF.[20] He helped the club in their first-ever promotion to the professional leagues in his first season, scoring a squad-best 11 goals.[21]
On 29 December 2022, Fernández signed for third-division Gimnàstic de Tarragona.[22]
