Born in Renedo de Piélagos, Cantabria, Óscar graduated from local CA Perines. On 8 July 2014 he moved to Racing de Santander, being initially assigned to the reserves in the Tercera División.[1]

Late in the month, Óscar was called up by manager Paco Fernández to make the pre-season with the main squad. On 24 August 2014 he played his first match as a professional, replacing Bernardo in the 85th minute of a 0–1 away loss against Girona FC in the Segunda División.[2]

Óscar only featured in one more match for the first team during the season, a 1–2 home loss against CD Leganés on 21 February 2015;[3] his side subsequently suffered relegation. He was definitely promoted to the main squad the following July, and scored a brace in a 2–0 Segunda División B home win against Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa on 20 March 2016.[4]

On 17 July 2018, free agent Óscar signed a two-year deal with AD Alcorcón, but was immediately loaned to CF Fuenlabrada for one year.[5] The following 9 January, he moved to fellow third division side CD Castellón, on loan until June.[6]

On 25 July 2019, Fernández signed for third division side Barakaldo CF after terminating his contract with the Alfareros.[7] After seven months at CD Don Benito from January to July 2020, Fernández moved to Pontevedra CF on a deal until June 2021.[8]
