Club career
Beginning his career under the name Tamer Aouf,[3] Fernandes began his career in the youth system at Brentford and signed his first professional contract at the end of the 1992–93 season.[4] Over the course of the following five seasons he served as backup to Kevin Dearden and made just 17 appearances before agreeing a settlement to his contract and leaving Griffin Park in January 1998.[2][5] He immediately joined Third Division high-flyers Colchester United,[6] but failed to make an appearance during what remained of a 1997–98 season that saw the club win promotion to the Second Division via the playoffs.[7][8] He made a breakthrough into the first team and made 8 appearances during the second half of the 1998–99 season,[9][10] but was released in May 1999 and dropped into non-League football to join Isthmian League Second Division club Hemel Hempstead Town.[4]
International career
Fernandes was capped by England Youth.[11][12]
