David Fernández Miramontes (born 20 January 1976) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a striker, and a current scout for Manchester City.
He began his career with Deportivo, but spent most of his career in Scottish football. He had a successful spell with Livingston, which earned him a move to Celtic.
Born in A Coruña, Galicia, Fernández began his career with hometown club Deportivo de La Coruña. In 1995, he helped the reserves promote to Segunda División B, then was immediately promoted to the first team by manager John Toshack, making his official debut in a UEFA Cup Winners' Cup tie against APOEL F.C. in Cyprus, on 14 September (0–0); his first La Liga appearance came on 26 November against Real Valladolid (3–1 home win), as he (again) came on as a substitute for Txiki Begiristain late into the second half of the match.
Fernández finished his first season with Depor with 25 official games and four goals, three of those coming within less than one month: against Real Sociedad (1–1 home draw), Atlético Madrid (2–2, home) and Real Zaragoza (1–0 Cup Winners' Cup triumph). He was eventually unable to break through to a regular starting place, being loaned twice to Segunda División clubs, starting with Sevilla FC in the first part of 1997–98; he spent the entire 1999–2000 campaign with CD Toledo, appearing regularly but suffering team relegation, after which he was released by Deportivo.
