On 9 July 2013, Herrera rejected a new deal and joined
Elche CF Ilicitano in the
Segunda División B.[2] On 24 November he made his
first-team – and
La Liga – debut, playing the last 12 minutes and scoring the winner in a 2–1 home win over neighbouring
Valencia CF.[3] On 18 June of the following year, after appearing in 21 matches and netting three goals during
the campaign, he renewed his link until 2019 and was definitely promoted to the main squad.[4]
Herrera terminated his contract with the
Valencians on 7 August 2015,[5] and signed a one-year deal with
UD Almería nine days later.[6] On 1 February 2016, however, he severed his ties[7] and moved to
Girona FC also from
Segunda División hours later.[8]
On 14 July 2017, Herrera cut ties with the
Catalans[9] and agreed to a two-year contract at
CD Lugo the same day.[10] On 13 August 2021, he signed a two-year deal with second-division newcomers
UD Ibiza.[11]
