Aitor Fernández López (born 23 August 1986), known simply as Aitor, is a Spanish former professional footballer who played 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 served a loan stint at SD Ponferradina, and joined the Segunda División B side permanently in 2008.
In the summer of 2009, Aitor signed for RCD Espanyol, but again only featured with the B team also in the third division. After a sole season, he moved to another club in that tier, Pontevedra CF.
Aitor signed for CD Lugo – yet in the third tier – in July 2011, being first choice as the campaign ended in promotion. On 19 July 2012, he agreed to a two-year contract with CD Guadalajara.
Aitor made his Segunda División debut on 19 August 2012, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 away draw against AD Alcorcón. He scored his first goal as a professional on 22 September, but in a 3–4 home loss to Real Madrid Castilla.
After suffering relegation, Aitor represented Hércules CF and CD Mirandés, both in the second division. On 15 September 2015, the 29-year-old moved abroad for the first time in his career, joining Indian Super League team Mumbai City FC.
On returning from Asia, Aitor signed in May 2016 for Real Avilés Industrial CF of his home region ahead of their participation in the Tercera División play-offs. Following their elimination, he moved on to FC Zirka Kropyvnytskyi of the Ukrainian First League.
At the end of the January 2017 transfer window, Aitor returned to Spain and joined struggling Extremadura UD. He played regularly in his first full season, as the club won promotion to the second division for the first time in its history.
Aitor signed with third-tier Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa on 28 August 2019, after terminating his contract.
