Club career

Athletic Bilbao

Born in Bilbao, Biscay, Herrerín was a product of Athletic Bilbao's youth ranks. He played a couple of months with the farm team CD Basconia, being loaned to Barakaldo CF in January 2007.[1]

After returning in the summer, Herrerín was assigned to the B-team also in Segunda División B.

Atlético Madrid

In July 2010, Herrerín decided to leave Athletic in search for "a new life in football", signing a contract with Atlético Madrid and playing two full seasons with the reserves, also in the third level.[2]

On 8 January 2011, in a match against neighbouring Getafe CF B, Herrerín scored the 3–2 winning goal for the hosts in the 72nd minute.[3]

Return to Athletic

Herrerín returned to Athletic Bilbao in the 2012 summer, signing a two-year deal and immediately being loaned to CD Numancia in a season-long move.[4] On 18 August he made his Segunda División debut, in a 2–0 home win against Sporting de Gijón.[5]

In July 2013, Herrerín signed a new contract extension with the Lions and was definitively promoted to the main squad.[6] On 23 August he played his first match in La Liga, keeping a clean sheet in a 2–0 win over CA Osasuna at the Anoeta Stadium;[7] he spent his first year, however, as backup to longtime incumbent Gorka Iraizoz.

In the 2014–15 campaign, Herrerín was first-choice in the Copa del Rey, helping his team reach the final of the tournament for the first time in three years.[8][9] On 25 May 2015 he signed a new deal with the club, running until 2017.[10]

In 2015–16, Herrerín played both domestic cup and UEFA Europa League matches while appearing twice in the league during Iraizoz' red card suspension.[11][12] On 8 June 2016, he agreed to a contract extension until 2019.[13]

On 30 November 2016, after being overtaken by Kepa Arrizabalaga, Herrerín was loaned to fellow top tier club CD Leganés until the end of the season, mainly as a replacement for injured Jon Ander Serantes.[14]
