Onel Lázaro Hernández Mayea, known as Onel Hernández, (born 1 February 1993) is a Cuban-born German[2] football winger who plays for Norwich City.[3]
Club career
Born in Morón, Cuba, Hernández came through the academy system at TuS Westfalia Neuenkirchen, FC Gütersloh 2000, Rot Weiss Ahlen and Arminia Bielefeld. He made his professional league debut for Arminia Bielefeld in the 2. Bundesliga against SC Paderborn 07 on 1 October 2010. In this game, he was substituted in the 78th minute for Franck Manga Guela by Christian Ziege.[1] He played 28 league games for Arminia Bielefeld from 2010 to 2012.[3] After two years he moved to SV Werder Bremen II. On 10 January 2014 Hernández moved to VfL Wolfsburg II.[4][5]
On 2 June 2016, Hernández signed with 2. Bundesliga club Eintracht Braunschweig for the 2016–17 season.[2] He moved to Norwich City in January 2018.[6] Since moving to Norwich City in the January transfer window, he has become a fan favourite scoring two late goals on the first game of the season against Birmingham City. Hernández also had a song created for him which goes like: Onel, Onel Hernández runs down the wing for me. Duh duh duh duh duh, duh duh duh duh duh, Onel, Onel Hernández runs down the wing for me. [repeat].
International career
Hernández has represented Germany once at the under-18 level, in a match against Ukraine in 2010.[7] In November 2018 Hernandez was called up for the first time by Cuba following his expression of admiration for the Castro regime.
Personal life
Hernández grew up in Gütersloh after having emigrated from Cuba to Germany with his mother and sister at the age of six. He also really loves the retailer Argos. [8]
