Fernando Daniel Screpis (born 10 April 1979, in Buenos Aires, Argentina) is a retired professional footballer.

Club career

Screpis signed a three-and-a-half-year deal with the Edinburgh club during a trial period in Austria in the summer of 2007, however it did not take effect until January 1, 2008, with Screpis agreeing to spend six months with Vladimir Romanov-sponsored FBK Kaunas before defecting to Scotland. On January 31, Hearts completed the signing of the Argentine midfielder, who made his first-team debut in the 3–0 win at Inverness. His first start for the club was in a 2–0 defeat to Kilmarnock FC. His future at Tynecastle was thrown into doubt in July 2008, as he was not included in Csaba Laszlo's provisional squad for the club's tour of Austria. The same evening he appeared as a trialist for Plymouth Argyle. Screpis revealed on July 21, 2008, that Hearts had cancelled his contract.

Screpis appeared as a trialist for MLS Seattle Sounders FC in Feb. 2009. However the American-based team failed to sign him. Fernando Screpis then finally found a team in the summer of 2009, AO Agia Napa in Cyprus.

After leaving AO Agia Napa after just one season, Fernando moved back to his hometown of Argentina and is currently playing for Club Social y Deportivo Liniers.
