Herrera started his career with the academy in the Canary Islands. He was a part of the squad at Anexo Del Estadio Gran Canaria during head coach Manolo Marquez’s time. He has been effective across all domestic leagues in Spain and has also spent a season in Israel with Maccabi Netanya. “Borja (Herrera) is a complete and technically gifted player.

From centre-back to centre-midfield, from a box-to-box role to playing as a winger, he is an effective option in the squad,” said HFC coach Marquez.
