Josep Miquel Fernández Codina (born 2 February 1995), commonly known as Xemi, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for English club Oxford United as a central or attacking midfielder.
Born in Sabadell, Barcelona, Catalonia, Xemi joined UE Cornellà's youth setup in 2012, after starting out at CF Damm and CE Sant Gabriel. He made his senior debut in the 2013–14 season at fourth level.
Xemi made his professional debut on 3 September 2014, coming on in the 71st minute of a 0–0 home draw against Real Jaén for the season's Copa del Rey first round. On 29 October 2014, he appeared for 72 minutes of a 1–4 home loss against Real Madrid in the first leg of the fourth round of the domestic cup.
After appearing more regularly during the following campaign in Segunda División B, on 28 December 2015, Xemi signed with FC Barcelona B, in the same division, until 30 June 2017.
On July 2017, after being a regular starter in the Barcelona B-side's promotion to the second level, free agent Xemi signed a three-year contract with League One side Oxford United. He made his debut against Cheltenham Town in the first round of the 2017–18 EFL Cup, scoring in the 42nd minute, though his team would go on to lose 4–3 after extra time.
