Luis Fernández Teijeiro (born 27 September 1993) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Polish club Lechia Gdańsk.

Club career

Born in Burela, Province of Lugo, Fernández was a youth product of neighbouring Deportivo de La Coruña. He made his debut as a senior with the reserves, representing them in the Tercera División and scoring 21 goals in the 2012–13 season.[1]

Fernández made his official debut for the Galicians' first team on 17 August 2013, starting in a 1–0 away win over UD Las Palmas in the Segunda División.[2] He scored his first goal in the competition on 3 November, his team's last in the 2–0 home victory against Real Madrid Castilla.[3]

Fernández appeared in 28 matches and scored five goals in 2013–14, as Depor returned to La Liga at the first attempt.[4] On 18 July 2014, he was loaned to neighbouring second-division club CD Lugo in a season-long deal;[5] still owned by the former, he joined SD Huesca of the same league the following campaign.[6]

On 21 July 2016, Fernández terminated his contract with Deportivo[7] and signed a two-year deal with AD Alcorcón just hours later.[8] On 10 January of the following year, after being rarely used, he cut ties with the latter[9] and moved to the second tier with UCAM Murcia CF the following day.[10]

After suffering a knee injury, Fernández returned to Deportivo B on 1 September 2017 as a free agent.[11] He re-joined UCAM the following 31 July, now on a permanent basis.[12]

On 3 July 2019, Fernández signed a two-year contract with Super League Greece club Asteras Tripolis F.C. for an undisclosed fee.[13] On 7 June 2020, he netted through a free kick in the 2–1 away defeat of Athlitiki Enosi Larissa F.C. in the opening game of the playoffs, after an 80-day enforced COVID-19 break.[14]

Fernández continued competing abroad the following seasons, with Khor Fakkan Club in the UAE Pro League[15] and Wisła Kraków in the Polish Ekstraklasa[16] and the I liga.[17]

On 12 July 2023, he joined another I liga outfit Lechia Gdańsk.[18]
