Club career

Sheffield Wednesday

In March 2024, Fernandes and teammate Jarvis Thornton were both nominated for the February LFE Goal of the Month, with Fernandes rounding off a neat team move with a blistering top corner effort early in the second half. [3] He signed his first professional contract with the club on 3 July 2024. [4] After a summer of turmoil, he joined the first team ahead of the 2025–26 season. [5] On the 13 August 2025, he would make his professional debut in the EFL Cup against Bolton Wanderers which would see the young Owls side draw 3–3 with the League One side before winning on penalties – however Fernandes was replaced by Sean Fusire just before half time after picking up a nasty looking injury which would see him taken to hospital.
