Club career

Born in Toledo, Castile-La Mancha, Herrero joined Real Madrid's youth setup in 2003, aged nine. He made his senior debut for the C-team on 24 August 2013, starting in a 1–0 Segunda División B away win against Atlético Madrid B.

Herrero was promoted to the reserves in 2014, after the side was relegated to the third division. He made his debut for the side on 24 August of that year, again against Atleti's B-team, but in a 1–2 loss.[1]

Herrero spent his two seasons at the B's as a backup, the first to Rubén Yáñez and the second to Carlos Abad. On 22 July 2016 he signed a three-year contract with Real Oviedo, being initially assigned to the reserve team in Tercera División.[2]

Ahead of the 2017–18 campaign, Herrero was definitely promoted to the first team after Esteban's retirement.[3] He made his professional debut on 6 September 2017, starting in a 0–1 home loss against CD Numancia, for the season's Copa del Rey.[4]

Herrero made his Segunda División debut on 25 November 2017, starting in a 3–1 home win against CD Numancia. He subsequently became the first-choice for Juan Antonio Anquela's side, overtaking Juan Carlos.[5]
