Héctor José Hernández Marrero (born 14 September 1995) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Brazilian club Corinthians.
Born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Hernández started playing football with hometown club UD Las Palmas and made his senior debut with their reserves in the 2012–13 season, in the Tercera División. On 15 May 2013, he signed with Atlético Madrid for a €250,000 fee plus 750,000 in add-ons, being assigned to the B team in the Segunda División B.[2]
Hernández made his debut with the Colchoneros main squad on 18 December 2013, coming on as a 76th-minute substitute for Léo Baptistão and scoring immediately after in a 2–1 Copa del Rey home win against UE Sant Andreu (6–1 on aggregate).[3] He first appeared in La Liga on 25 August 2014, replacing Mario Mandžukić in the 0–0 draw at Rayo Vallecano.[4]
On 13 August 2015, Hernández joined Elche CF from Segunda División in a season-long loan.[5] One year later, he moved to Albacete Balompié also in a temporary deal;[6] after achieving promotion to the second tier while contributing a career-best 20 goals to the feat,[7] his loan was extended for a further year on 1 September 2017.[8]
On 1 August 2018, Hernández agreed to a one-year loan deal at Málaga CF, still in division two.[9] The following 31 January, he joined CF Rayo Majadahonda of the same league on loan until June.[10]
On 28 July 2019, Hernández moved to another second division newcomer, CF Fuenlabrada, on loan for one year.[11] In February 2021, after terminating his contract with Atlético Madrid, he signed with third-tier Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa until 30 June.[12] In the summer, he joined Rayo Majadahonda in the newly created Primera División RFEF.[13]
Hernández had his first abroad experience in the 2022–23 campaign, with G.D. Chaves who had just returned to the Portuguese Primeira Liga.[14] He scored seven goals in his first year, leading the squad alongside Steven Vitória in a seventh-place finish.[15] He doubled those figures in 2023–24, but his side was relegated after ranking last.[16]
On 27 August 2024, Hernández signed a two-year contract with Sport Club Corinthians Paulista of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A.[17]
