Central confirm Pol Fernández’s return and keep strengthening 💪 | OneFootball

The Canalla announced the signing of the midfielder who had already played for the club in 2013. Last year, the former Boca and Racing player was part of the relegations of Godoy Cruz and Fortaleza of Brazil, and a move to Vélez was thwarted due to threats.

Rosario Central surprised everyone this Monday by announcing Guillermo Pol Fernández as a new signing, whose last stint at Godoy Cruz ended in relegation to Primera Nacional.

The 34-year-old midfielder joins the Canalla as a free agent, having already spent a loan spell there from Boca in the second half of 2013. Now, he has signed for one year, until December 2026.

Fernández’s 2025 had been somewhat hectic and unfortunate: in addition to ending with relegation at Tomba, his previous team, Fortaleza, suffered the same sad fate in the Brasileirao, so he was part of both failed campaigns.

Previously, Pol had completed four different stints at Xeneize, the club where he made his Primera debut in 2011. In between, he also played for the Canalla, Atlético de Rafaela, his first spell at Bodeguero, Racing, and Cruz Azul of Mexico.

Mid-year, before his last move to Mendoza from Brazil, the midfielder had his transfer to Vélez all but agreed, but an unusual setback prevented it: he received serious threats from a representative who was claiming a percentage of the deal, so he decided not to go through with it.

Fernández arrives at a Central still basking in the controversial league title awarded by the AFA as the best team in the 2025 overall standings, but also in a period of reconstruction after the departure of Ariel Holan and a key player like Ignacio Malcorra. With Jorge Almirón making his debut on the bench, they started the Torneo Apertura with a defeat against Belgrano and will seek revenge this Wednesday against Racing at the Cilindro.
