[2] On 21 August 2011, he was sent off in a 3–2 loss at Patronato.

In early 2012, he was loaned to Club Tijuana in the Liga MX. He made seven appearances, without scoring, and spoke of the effects of altitude on his play after his debut on 5 February in a 1–1 draw at Puebla. [3] For the following season, he was loaned to Ferro Carril Oeste, also of Primera B. [4]

On 2 January 2014, Fernández was loaned for a third time, to CSD Comunicaciones in Guatemala. [5] On 29 January, he was provoked by opponents from CD Malacateco and substituted in the first half, causing him to vandalise furniture in the changing room. [6]
