Club career

Born in Palencia, Castile and León, Hernando joined Real Madrid's La Fábrica in 2010, from Club Internacional de la Amistad. Initially an attacking midfielder, he was converted into a central defender during his formation, and signed a five-year contract in March 2014.[1]

Promoted to the reserves for the 2017–18 season, Hernando made his senior debut on 8 October 2017, starting in a 0–2 Segunda División B away loss against Pontevedra CF.[2] He scored his first goal for Castilla on 18 November, netting the opener in a 1–1 home draw against CD Toledo.[3]

A regular starter under Santiago Solari, Hernando spent the first months of the 2018–19 campaign out due to a knee injury, but still renewed his contract until 2022 on 15 November 2018.[4] The following 2 January, he joined Segunda División's Racing de Santander on loan until June.[5]

Hernando made his professional debut on 24 January 2020, coming on as a substitute for Nico Hidalgo in a 0–1 away loss against Cádiz CF.[6] He scored his first professional goal on 7 March, netting his team's second in a 2–1 win at CD Numancia.

On 14 August 2020, Hernando was loaned to fellow second division side SD Ponferradina for the season.[7] On 16 July of the following year, he moved abroad and signed a two-year contract with C.D. Tondela of the Portuguese Primeira Liga.[8]

On 10 July 2023, Hernando returned to his home country after signing a contract with SD Amorebieta, newly-promoted to division two.[9]
