Career Bio
In his first two years with Republic FC, Herrera has netted 12 goals and three assists in 43 total appearances. He has scored four of those goals in the U.S. Open Cup—tied for third all-time in club history—with three coming against MLS opponents. Earlier this year, he completed Sacramento’s come-from-behind victory over the San Jose Earthquakes with a game-winning goal in the 107th minute. The score was later voted Play of the Year by the Republic FC players and technical staff.
The 30-year-old striker came to Sacramento after 11 seasons in his native Colombia, as well as Ecuador, where he featured in topflight leagues and amassed 83 goals in 273 matches played. He made his professional debut at 18 in 2012 for his hometown side Real Santander, then in Colombia’s second division. Two stellar seasons to start his career earned him a move to the first division, where he featured for five seasons between 2014 and 2018, with Alianza Petrolera, Junior FC, Jaguares de Córdoba, and Atlético Huila.
