Aitor Fernández López (born 23 August 1986), known simply as Aitor, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Indian club Mumbai City FC as a right back.

Club career

Born in Valdepares, Asturias, Aitor began his career with Racing de Santander, but only appeared for the reserves during his spell with the club. He also had a loan stint with SD Ponferradina, and joined the Segunda División B side permanently in 2008.[1]

In the 2009 summer Aitor signed for RCD Espanyol, but again only featured with the B-team, also in the third level.[2] After a sole season he moved to another club in the category, Pontevedra CF.[3]

Aitor signed for CD Lugo – yet in division three – in July 2011,[4] being first-choice as the campaign ended in promotion. On 19 July 2012, he penned a two-year contract with CD Guadalajara.[5]

Aitor made his Segunda División debut on 19 August 2012, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 away draw against AD Alcorcón.[6] On 22 September he scored his first goal as a professional, but in a 3–4 home loss to Real Madrid Castilla.[7]

After suffering relegation, Aitor represented Hércules CF and CD Mirandés, both in the second tier. On 15 September 2015 the 29-year-old moved abroad for the first time in his career, joining Indian Super League club Mumbai City FC.
