Aitor Fernández Abarisketa

Athletic Bilbao

Born in Mondragón, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, Fernández joined Athletic Bilbao's academy in 2003, aged 12. He made his senior debut for the farm team CD Basconia in 2008, in the Tercera División. On 29 June 2010, after being promoted to the reserves in the Segunda División B, Fernández was called up to the first team for the preseason as a backup to Gorka Iraizoz and Raúl Fernández. However, he only appeared in 19 matches for the former during the season, mainly due to a hand injury which kept him out for two months, and struggled even more in 2011–12 again due to injuries, being overtaken by new signing Jon Ander Serantes. Fernández was loaned to Barakaldo CF of the same league on 22 July 2012 for one year, but had his contract with the Lions terminated on 28 January 2013. He signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with Villarreal CF a day later, being assigned to the B side also in the third tier.

Numancia

On 6 July 2016, Fernández signed for Segunda División club CD Numancia on a two-year contract. He made his professional debut on 4 September 2016, starting in a 1–1 away draw against AD Alcorcón. Initially a backup to Munir, Fernández profited from national call-ups and became a regular starter, holding that position until the end of the campaign. On 27 February 2017, he extended his link until 2020.
