Club Career

Early years and Vitoria

Born in Lisbon of Cape Verdean descent, Hernani started playing with local Atletico Clube de Portugal. In the 2010–11 season he contributed 21 appearances – only one start – to help the club return to the Segunda Liga after a lengthy absence, making his debut in the competition on 4 September 2011 by coming on as a 73rd-minute substitute in a 2–1 away win against C.D. Santa Clara.

In January 2013, Hernani signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Vitoria de Guimaraes, being initially assigned to the B team in the second division. His first Primeira Liga appearance occurred on 28 April of that year, when he featured one minute in a 2–2 home draw with F.C. Pacos de Ferreira. His first goal in the competition only arrived on 16 August 2014, but he scored a brace in a 3–1 away victory over Gil Vicente FC.
