Club career

edit

Herrero was born in Zaragoza, Aragon. A product of Real Zaragoza's youth academy, he made his debut with the first team on 27 October 2005, coming on as a 39th-minute substitute in a 1–1 home draw against Racing de Santander,[2] but spent the vast majority of the season playing with the B side.

From 2006 to 2008, Herrero appeared in ten La Liga games each, as Zaragoza were relegated in the second campaign. He contributed more significantly to help the club to return to the top flight after just one year, but would be released in July 2009, moving to FC Cartagena (recently promoted to Segunda División).

Herrero continued competing in the second tier the following years, representing Girona FC, Real Valladolid,[3] UE Llagostera,[4] Albacete Balompié and Córdoba CF.[5]
