UNAM

He made his senior team debut with Pumas UNAM on 24 July 2011 as a substitute in a match against San Luis. Herrera enjoyed a successful period between 2014 and 2016 being top scorer at the club during the first season. The 2015–16 season proved to his most prolific, scoring 15 goals in 37 appearances, and finishing the 2015 Apertura runner-up with Pumas. Herrera also spent time on loan to Santos Laguna during the 2013–14 season, scoring five times in 21 appearances. He spent the beginning of 2017 on loan to Veracruz, starting in 12 of 13 games and scoring three goals.
Rangers

In May 2017, Scottish club Rangers, managed by former Santos coach Pedro Caixinha, were linked with a move for Herrera. A bid reported to be £1.5m was accepted by Pumas for Herrera and he travelled to Glasgow at the beginning of June to discuss a move. After agreeing a deal Herrera had to wait on a work permit and visa but he finally joined Rangers on 22 June, the same day as fellow Mexican international Carlos Peña.

He made his competitive debut on 4 July in Rangers' 0–2 Europa League qualifying round loss to Luxembourg side Progrès Niedercorn; Herrera replaced Jordan Rossiter in the 77th minute of the match.

He scored his first goal for Rangers on 27 August in the 3–1 league win at Ross County.
International career

In March 2015, Herrera earned a call up to the Mexico national football team. On 31 March, Herrera scored his first goal with the national team in an international friendly match against Paraguay.
