Football career
Born in Eibar, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, Hernáez played for SD Eibar's youth setup before eventually joining seven-a-side football. In the 2004 summer he moved to SCD Durango, and made his debuts as a senior during the campaign, in Tercera División. In 2006, he returned to Eibar, being assigned to the main squad in Segunda División B.[1]
On 13 July 2007 Hernáez joined Athletic Bilbao, being assigned to the reserves also in the third level.[2] However, after featuring rarely with the Lions, he moved to another reserve team, Real Zaragoza B on 18 January of the following year.[3]
In September 2008 Hernáez suffered a serious knee injury which took him out of the entire 2008–09 season.[4] He was later released by the Aragonese, and moved to Sestao River Club in the 2009 summer.
On 29 August 2014 Hernáez joined Segunda División's CD Mirandés.[5] He made his professional debut on 14 September, aged 29, playing the entire second half in a 0–1 away loss against CD Tenerife.[6]
