Club career

[edit]

Born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Herrera finished his formation with AD Huracán. He made his debut as a senior with CF Unión Viera during the 2012–13 season, in Tercera División.[1]

On 31 January 2014, Herrera joined CD Tudelano in Segunda División B.[2] On 12 July 2014 he moved to UD Las Palmas, the club he already represented as a youth, being assigned to the reserves also in the third division.[3]

On 11 July 2016, Herrera extended his contract until 2018.[4] The following 13 June, after helping the B-side in their promotion to the third division, he was promoted to the main squad ahead of the 2017–18 campaign.[5]

Herrera made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 24 September 2017, starting in a 0–2 home loss against CD Leganés.[6] The following 25 January, he was loaned to Segunda División side Real Valladolid until June.[7]

On 31 July 2018, after achieving promotion with the Blanquivioletas and suffering relegation with the Amarillos, Herrera signed a three-year deal with CF Reus Deportiu in the second level. He scored his first professional goal the following 6 January, netting the opener in a 3–0 away defeat of Málaga CF.

On 24 January 2019, Herrera left the Catalans due to the club's poor financial situation overall.[8] Two days later, he agreed to an 18-month contract with fellow league team Albacete Balompié.[9]

On 19 July 2019, Herrera signed a two-year contract with Maccabi Netanya from the Israeli Premier League.[10]

On 6 August 2020, signed in Andorra.

In July 2022, Herrera moved to India and signed with defending Indian Super League champions Hyderabad FC.[11] He made his debut on 13 October 2022, against NorthEast United, coming on as 71st-minute substitute and scoring his debut goal two minutes later.[12]

On 12 June 2023, Herrera joined East Bengal on a one-year deal.[13] He won the 2024 Super Cup with East Bengal.[14]

On 30 January 2024, Herrera joined FC Goa on loan until the end of the 2023–24 season, reuniting with his Las Palmas and Hyderabad FC coach Manolo Márquez.[15]

FC Goa

[edit]

Herrera signed a short-term contract in January 2024 with Indian Super League club FC Goa, which in-turn led to permanent deal for the 2024–25 season with the club.[16]

On 27 September 2024, Herrera scored a hattrick against East Bengal in the league, which led his team to a 3–2 victory.[17]
