Club career

Early years and Vitória

Born in Lisbon of Cape Verdean descent, Hernâni started playing with local Atlético Clube de Portugal. In the 2010–11 season he contributed 21 appearances – only one start – to help the club return to the Segunda Liga after a lengthy absence, making his debut in the competition on 4 September 2011 by coming on as a 73rd-minute substitute in a 2–1 away win against C.D. Santa Clara.[2]

In January 2013, Hernâni signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Vitória de Guimarães, being initially assigned to the B team in the second level.[3] His first Primeira Liga appearance occurred on 28 April of that year, when he featured one minute in a 2–2 home draw with F.C. Paços de Ferreira.[4] His first goal in the competition only arrived on 16 August 2014, but he scored a brace in a 3–1 away victory over Gil Vicente FC.[5]

Porto

Hernâni joined FC Porto on the last day of the 2015 January transfer window, after scoring four goals for Vitória in the first half of the campaign.[6] He played his first game precisely against his former side, when he replaced Ricardo Quaresma for the last minutes of the 1–0 home victory on 13 February.[7]

Hernâni moved to Olympiacos F.C. of the Super League Greece on 31 August 2015, in a season-long loan.[8] On 3 April 2016, he netted twice for the second consecutive league match to help to a 4–0 home win against Panthrakikos FC,[9] going on to finish with 26 appearances and eight goals in all competitions.[10]

In the summer of 2016, still owned by Porto, Hernâni returned to Guimarães in a season-long move.[11] He scored 12 times overall during his second spell in the Minho Province,[12] and his goal against C.F. Os Belenenses (1–1 away draw) was also voted the league's best.[13]

Levante

On 2 July 2019, Hernâni signed a three-year deal with La Liga club Levante UD.[14] He scored his first goal in the competition on 24 September, but in a 1–3 away loss to Real Betis.[15] He repeated the feat the following matchday, but was also sent off for two bookable offences in the 1–1 draw against CA Osasuna at the Estadi Ciutat de València.[16]

On 13 October 2020, Hernâni joined Al Wehda Club of the Saudi Professional League on loan.[17]
