Morales debuted for Pumas on November 21, 2004, in a defeat game (1-5) against Guadalajara. He was used sparingly by Pumas coach Hugo Sánchez, although he was considered a top prospect. Comparisons were made that Morales was the next Aílton da Silva, a Pumas hero.

He was loaned to Club Necaxa for the Clausura 2007 tournament and returned to Pumas to the Clausura 2008. He is mostly known for his strong left leg. Fernando Morales went on a loan to San Luis in 2012.
