Playing career

In the following 2013–14 season, Fernholm was hampered by a knee injury which limited him to just 16 games with the J20 squad.

On May 26, 2014, Fernholm left Frölunda in order to gain regular playing time and agreed to a one-year deal with IF Troja/Ljungby of the Hockeyettan.[2]

After spells with fellow Swedish clubs AIK IF, Timrå IK, HC Vita Hästen, Västerås IK, in August 2022 Fernholm agreed to join UK Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL) side Fife Flyers for the 2022–23 season.[3]
