Career

College and Amateur

Herrick played college soccer at the University of Maryland, where during his five-year career he managed 29 goals in 86 appearances, and was a 2009 and 2010 First Team All-ACC, 2010 All-ACC Tournament Team and 2006 All-ACC Freshman Team.[1]

Professional

On January 14, 2011, Herrick was drafted in the third round (45th overall) in the 2011 MLS SuperDraft by Chicago Fire,[2] but was released by the club without signing.

Herrick signed his first professional contract with Harrisburg City Islanders on April 12, 2011,[3] and made his professional debut on April 23 in a 1-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Riverhounds.[4]

Herrick retired from professional soccer after just one season due to a concussion injury he sustained early in the 2011 USL Pro season.[5]
