Football career
Born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Herrera was a product of hometown UD Las Palmas' youth system. He made senior debuts 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 División 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.
On 7 August 2015, Herrera terminated his contract with the Valencian club and signed a one-year deal with UD Almería nine days later. On 1 February 2016, however, he severed his ties, and moved to Girona FC also in the second level hours later.
On 14 July 2017 Herrera cut ties with the Catalans, and signed a two-year contract with CD Lugo just hours later.
