[3] Herrera started his career at Centro Español, making his debut in the 2009–10 Primera D match against Victoriano Arenas.
[6][7] During the 2014 season, only 6 months long due to a restructuring in the Argentine football league system, Deportivo Riestra made a surprising campaign, ending second in their group and winning play-offs right after that, to clinch their second promotion within the same year.
[11] During 2017 Herrera would spend a semester on loan at Venezuelan side Atlético Venezuela,[12] facing his first international experience.
His highlight in the Caracas side would be their debut at CONMEBOL competitions at that season's Copa Sudamericana, in which Herrera scored the winning goal against Palestino.
He scored 5 goals for the Blanquinegro squad and left again during the summer on loan to Ferro Carril Oeste, which played the same tournament.
[2] After Oeste failed to renew his loan, Herrera would seek another international experience, now at Chilean side Audax Italiano.
[3] Herrera scored 13 goals in 22 matches, including two to derby rivals Sacachispas[18][19] and a hat-trick against Justo José de Urquiza.
