Hernán made his debut as a professional on 12 February 2011, starting in a 0–5 away defeat against AD Alcorcón for the Segunda División championship.[1] His second appearance came only on 1 October, in a 1–1 home draw against Real Murcia.[2] In June 2012, he was definitely promoted to the main squad.[3]
