Excelsior

In his first season in the Eredivisie, while playing for Excelsior, Fernandez was praised for performance in a victory against local rivals Feyenoord, in which he scored two goals.[4] In March 2011 Fernandez was the subject of interest from Romanian side Steaua Bucharest.[5]

Feyenoord

In May 2011, it was announced that Fernandez had signed for Feyenoord at the start of the 2011-12 season.[6] He was supposed to succeed Luc Castaignos who had left to Internazionale. In his first season Fernandez stood in a negative way. In November 2011, he received a six-game ban for hitting opposition player Rens van Eijden.[7] Fernandez claimed he was reacting to racist abuse from van Eijden.[8]

Loan spell PEC Zwolle

Fernandez was sent on loan for the 2013-14 season, after a lack of prospect with Feyenoord. On 20 April 2014, Fernandez scored twice in the first half as PEC Zwolle beat Ajax 5–1 in the KNVB Cup.[9]

NAC Breda

In October 2014 Fernandez was linked with a transfer to Bulgarian club Levski Sofia, following trials in Saudi Arabia and with Spanish club Real Valladolid.[10] In November 2014, he began training with former club Excelsior.[11] In January 2015 he went on trial with English club Sheffield Wednesday.[12] On 12 January 2015, it was announced that Fernandez had signed a deal with NAC Breda until the end of the season.[13]

Perth Glory

On 11 August 2015, it was announced that Fernandez signed with Australian A-League side Perth Glory.[14] On 25 October 2015 Guyon Fernandez scored his first goal for Perth Glory against Adelaide United.[15]
