Hector Herrera boasts a long resume and a trailblazing career. Now El Zorro is bringing that to Houston and will hit the pitch soon for the Dynamo.
The Houston Dynamo Football Club's newest star and captain of the Mexican National Soccer Team arrived in Houston on Wednesday, and now two days later, the midfielder will make his official debut to the city.
Herrera, 32, will be introduced at a press conference at 1 p.m., and he'll be joined by owner Ted Segal, general manager Pat Onstad and head coach Paulo Nagamura.Herrera has enjoyed immense success in European soccer, coming to Houston from Atletico Madrid. He has signed a contract through the 2024 season with an option for 2025.But when will fans finally be able to see him on the pitch at PNC Stadium? He'll be eligible on July 9 in the Texas Derby as Frisco comes to town.
About a week before that, though, El Zorro as he's nicknamed, will be presented to the crowd in a halftime presentation on July 3., the club said, because foxes are known for being cunning, creative and intelligent, especially striking out of nowhere to surprise their opponents. Fox also appears to be fitting as that's the Dynamo's mascot. Eagle-eyed fans will notice the fox emoji sprinkled on Herrera's posts on social media.
Another name you'll hear used when describing Herrera is"HH," the way he's known to most soccer fans.The Houston Dynamo FC is throwing a party at Post Houston in downtown at 8 p.m. Friday. Herrera is expected to address the crowd at 9 p.m.
