Monterey Bay F.C. announced today that the club has signed goalkeeper Carlos Herrera to a 25-day contract following the injury sustained by Rafael Díaz in the final minutes of the club’s March 26 match against Oakland Roots SC.
The San Leandro, California native joins Monterey Bay F.C. after an extended run with the club as a trialist this preseason. Prior to that, Herrera played for National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) club Laredo Heat SC, where he led them to a first place finish in the NPSL Lone Star Conference and a trip to the Regional Semifinals in 2018. During the 2019 season, Herrera made two U.S. Open Cup appearances for the Laredo, Texas club and recorded one clean sheet.
Herrera played collegiately for Texas A&M International from 2017-2018 and finished with a record of 16-10-5 in his two seasons with the university, including 10 shutouts and a career-high 84.1% save percentage in 2017.
