Dempo
On 24 May 2013 it was announced that Fernandes had signed with Dempo of the I-League.[4] Fernandes said that his reason for returning to the club where he spent part of his youth career was so he could remain close to family.[4] He made his debut for Dempo on 22 September 2013 against Shillong Lajong at the Duler Stadium. He came on as a 82nd-minute substitute for Clifford Miranda as Dempo lost 3–0.[7]
Pune (loan)

He came on as a half-time substitute for Arata Izumi as Pune drew 1–1.[9] Fernandes then scored his first goals for the club two games later against Churchill Brothers on 20 January 2014. He scored two in this match but they were not enough as Pune lost 3–2 and were thus knocked-out of the Federation Cup.[10]
