Yago Fernández

Early career

Born in Lisbon to a Spanish father, Yago played for four clubs during his youth career, starting with S.L. Benfica at the age of 9 then successively representing Sporting CP, Real Madrid and Valencia CF. As a senior, his first spell was with the latter's reserve team in the Tercera División, in a promotion-ending campaign. Subsequently, Yago continued in Spain, spending two years with RCD Espanyol B, helping the side to promote to Segunda División B and being relegated in his second season. In January 2010, he returned to his country for an unassuming loan spell with Gil Vicente F.C. in the Segunda Liga (no appearances whatsoever).

Malmö FF

In July 2010, after not having his contract renewed by Espanyol, Yago was taken on trial by Swedish club Malmö FF, which had just lost Jasmin Sudić with a ruptured cruciate ligament. He played against Fulham in a 0–0 friendly draw, and his performance earned him a contract for the rest of the year, with the deal being confirmed by manager Roland Nilsson. On 8 December 2010, shortly after winning the Allsvenskan title, Yago signed a new one-year extension. However, they chose not to offer him a new contract after the 2011 season.

AEK Athens

In August 2012, following a five-month spell with Girona FC in the Segunda División, during which he scored in a 5–3 home win over Xerez CD, Yago agreed to a three-year contract at AEK Athens FC. He scored his only goal in the Super League Greece on 16 September,…

Yago represented Portugal at youth level.
