Biography

Leonardo Cecilio Fernández López (born 1 October 1998) is a Uruguayan footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Liga MX club Tigres UANL.

Club career

Born in Montevideo, Fernández joined Fénix's youth setup in 2011, from lowly CSyD Amanecer. On 31 May 2015, aged just 16, he made his first team – and Primera División – debut, coming on as a late substitute for Martín Ligüera in a 2–0 away loss against Peñarol.

After spending his first two seasons as a backup, Fernández started to appear regularly from the 2017 campaign onwards. He scored his first professional goal on 25 March of that year, netting the winner in a 2–1 home defeat of El Tanque Sisley.

On 4 March 2018, Fernández scored a brace in a 3–2 defeat to Defensor Sporting. On 29 July, he scored a hat-trick in a 5–0 away routing of Cerro, and finished the campaign with 11 goals, playing a key part as his side narrowly avoided relegation.

On 24 June 2019, he joined Tigres UANL for the pre-season but was later loaned to Club Universidad de Chile.

On 12 December 2019, Fernández joined Mexican club Toluca on a season-long loan.

On 2020, he won player of the month of January in the Liga MX.
