Career

College career

Herrera started his college career at Iowa Western Community College, transferring after two years to Texas A&M International University.[1]

While in college Herrera played for NPSL clubs Little Rock Rangers and Laredo Heat.[2][3]

Monterey Bay

Seeking his first professional contract, Herrera trialed with Monterey Bay before the start of their inaugural season, but ultimately wasn't signed. However, after Union goalkeeper Rafael Díaz suffered an injury, Monterey Bay signed Herrera to a 25-day contract on 14 April 2022.[4] His contract was extended through the remainder of the season on 6 May 2022.[5] The very next day Herrera would make his first professional appearance, starting in the club's first-ever home match on 7 May 2022. Herrera would lead the team to a 1–0 win over Las Vegas Lights, Monterey Bay's first shutout in club history.[6]
