Club Career

Born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Herrera was a product of hometown club UD Las Palmas' youth system. He made senior debut with the reserves in the 2010–11 season, competing several years with the side in the lower leagues.

On 9 July 2013, Herrera rejected a new deal and joined Elche CF Ilicitano in Segunda Division B. On 24 November he made his first-team – and La Liga – debut, playing the last 12 minutes and scoring the winner in a 2–1 home win over neighbouring Valencia CF. On 18 June of the following year, after appearing in 21 matches and netting three goals during the campaign, he renewed his link until 2019 and was definitely promoted to the main squad.

Herrera terminated his contract with the Valencians on 7 August 2015, and signed a one-year deal with UD Almeria nine days later. On 1 February 2016, however, he severed his ties and moved to Girona FC also from the second tier hours later.
