Hernâni Jorge Santos Fortes (born 20 August 1991), known simply as Hernâni, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a winger for Saudi First Division League club Al-Najma.
He played 115 Primeira Liga games for Vitória de Guimarães, Porto and Rio Ave, winning a league title with the second of those clubs in 2017–18. Abroad, he won Super League Greece with Olympiacos in 2015–16, and also competed in Spain and Saudi Arabia.
Club career
[edit]Early years and Vitória
[edit]Born in Lisbon of Cape Verdean descent, Hernâni started playing with local Atlético Clube de Portugal. In the 2010–11 season he contributed 21 appearances – only one start – to help the club return to the Segunda Liga after a lengthy absence, making his debut in the competition on 4 September 2011 by coming on as a 73rd-minute substitute in a 2–1 away win against C.D. Santa Clara.[2]
In January 2013, Hernâni signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Vitória de Guimarães, being initially assigned to the B team in the second division.[3] His first Primeira Liga appearance occurred on 28 April of that year, when he featured one minute in a 2–2 home draw with F.C. Paços de Ferreira.[4] His first goal in the competition only arrived on 16 August 2014, but he scored a brace in a 3–1 away victory over Gil Vicente FC.[5]
Porto
[edit]Hernâni joined FC Porto on the last day of the 2015 January transfer window, after scoring four goals for Vitória in the first half of the campaign.[6] He played his first game precisely against his former side, when he replaced Ricardo Quaresma for the last minutes of the 1–0 home victory on 13 February.[7]
Hernâni moved to Olympiacos F.C. of the Super League Greece on 31 August 2015, in a season-long loan.[8] On 3 April 2016, he netted twice for the second consecutive league match to help to a 4–0 home win over Panthrakikos FC,[9] going on to finish with 26 appearances and eight goals in all competitions.[10]
In the summer of 2016, still owned by Porto, Hernâni returned to Guimarães in a season-long move.[11] He scored 12 times overall during his second spell in the Minho Province,[12] and his goal against C.F. Os Belenenses (1–1 away draw) was also voted the league's best.[13]
Later career
[edit]On 2 July 2019, Hernâni signed a three-year deal with Levante UD.[14] He scored his first La Liga goal on 24 September, but in a 3–1 away loss to Real Betis.[15] He repeated the feat the following matchday, but was also sent off for two bookable offences in the 1–1 draw against CA Osasuna at the Estadi Ciutat de València.[16]
Hernâni joined Al Wehda FC of the Saudi Professional League on 13 October 2020, on loan.[17] One year later, he was released by his parent club.[18]
On 27 December 2021, Hernâni agreed to a six-month contract with UD Las Palmas in the Spanish Segunda División.[19] Having played just five games – all off the bench – in his only season in the Canary Islands, he returned to his country's top flight on 9 August at Rio Ave F.C. on a one-year deal with the option of a second.[20] He made his debut 19 days later in a brief cameo in a 3–1 home win over former club and title holders Porto.[21]
Hernâni terminated his contract with Rio Ave by mutual agreement in January 2024 and went back to Saudi Arabia, signing with Al-Najma SC of the First Division League until 30 June.[22][23]
