[edit] Club career

Barcos has also played for Red Star, Olmedo, Club Guaraní and Huracán.

On October 7, 2007 he scored his first league goal in Serbia by netting twice in the late minutes against Banat, helping Red Star to get 3 points. Barcos however, did not leave a good impression so he went back to Racing Club.

In February 2009, Barcos signed a year long loan with Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua.[2] However, after a disappointing half season at Shenhua, he was loaned out again by Shenhua to Shenzhen Asia Travel, also a CSL club. He scored the first hat-trick in his career in Shenzhen's 4-0 victory over Changchun Yatai on September 16, 2009. He scored 14 goals in 14 league games with Shenzhen and won Chinese Football Association golden boot award in the end of the season.

In early 2010, he transferred to LDU Quito to reinforce the squad after their leading goalscorer transferred out. He established himself as a capable striker for the squad, starting a five game run where he scored one goal a game.

Hernán Barcos was transferred to Brazilian club Palmeiras on January 17, 2012.[3]

He scored his first goal for the club on 11 February 2012 in a 3-0 victory against Ituano, in a Paulistão match.[4]
