Yago Fernández

Malmö FF In July 2010, after not having his contract renewed by Espanyol, Yago was taken on trial by Swedish club Malmö FF, which had just lost Jasmin Sudić with a ruptured cruciate ligament. He played against Fulham in a 0–0 friendly draw, and his performance earned him a contract for the rest of the year, with the deal being confirmed by manager Roland Nilsson.

On 8 December 2010, shortly after winning the Allsvenskan title, Yago signed a new one-year extension. However, they chose not to offer him a new contract after the 2011 season.

AEK Athens In August 2012, following a five-month spell with Girona FC in the Segunda División, during which he scored in a 5–3 home win over Xerez CD, Yago agreed to a three-year contract at AEK Athens FC. He scored his only goal in the Super League Greece on 16 September, opening an eventual 1–1 home draw with Aris Thessaloniki FC.

Häcken On 19 August 2013, Yago joined BK Häcken, thus returning to Sweden. In November, after failing to make an appearance, he left the club.

Oriental Yago moved to Clube Oriental de Lisboa in early August 2014, following a short stint in Kazakhstan with FC Shakhter Karagandy. He played his first game as a professional in his country on 5 October, featuring the full 90 minutes in the 0–0 home draw against G.D. Chaves.

Later career Yago retired in 2018 aged 30, following unassuming spells with Spanish amateurs La Roda CF and CF Torre Levante and Portuguese third-tier side U.D. Leiria.

International career Yago represented Portugal at youth level.
