Fernando Miguel Fernández Escribano, known simply as Fernando (Spanish pronunciation: [ferˈnando]; born 2 June 1979), is a Spanish retired footballer. Mainly an attacking midfielder, he could also appear as a supporting striker.
Over the course of 12 professional seasons he amassed La Liga totals of 276 games and 55 goals, mostly at Betis (six) and Málaga (three), after starting his career at Real Madrid.
Fernando was born in Málaga, Andalusia. After starting at hometown's Málaga CF, he finished his football grooming in the ranks of La Liga giants Real Madrid, going on to appear once for its first team in the 1999–2000 season, against Real Zaragoza (90 minutes, 1–0 home win).
After that Fernando joined, on loan, Real Valladolid, as many Real Madrid canteranos would move to that club in that timeframe (Alberto Marcos, Víctor, José García Calvo, etc.).
In the 2002 summer, Fernando signed with top division club Real Betis, scoring 15 goals in his debut campaign, with the team finishing in eighth place thanks greatly to his braces against Málaga (3–0), RCD Espanyol (4–2) and Real Sociedad (3–2). He won the only trophy of his career in 2005, the 2–1 Copa del Rey success over CA Osasuna.
