Hery started his career at Paris Saint-Germain II, before coming to England to join Sheffield Wednesday’s Development Squad in June 2012. Hery failed to make the breakthrough at Sheffield Wednesday and spent the closing weeks of 2012/13 training with the Rochdale squad. In summer 2013, Hery became Keith Hill’s first signing at Rochdale. Hery found his chances limited in his first season, but emerged as a big influence in the final weeks of the campaign as Rochdale pushed for promotion.
Hery has played internationally for France twice at under-18 level.
Early career
Born in Brou-sur-Chantereine, France, Hery started playing football when he was six and joined US Torcy. Hery then joined Paris Saint-Germain. Hery revealed he went on a trial at Toulouse, Strasbourg and Auxerre.

He made his professional debut on 6 August 2013 in a Football League Cup match at Doncaster Rovers. Soon after, Hery spoke about his move to Rochdale, quoting: "Last season at Sheffield Wednesday I only played in the development squad so this is my first experience of first team football and I'm enjoying it. I have learnt more in three months here playing first team football than I did during one year with the development squad." Hery scored his first goal for the club on 12 October 2013, in a 3-0 win over Newport County. After only making twelve appearance that season, Rochdale were promoted to League One. Hery signed a new two-year contract with Rochdale on 27 June 2014.
