Francisco Javier "Javi" Hernández González (born 6 June 1989) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Indian Super League club Odisha.
Club career[]
Born in Salamanca, Castile and León, Hernández reached Real Madrid's youth academy in 2005 at the age of 16, signing from local UD Salamanca.[1] He made his senior debut in the 2008–09 season with Real Madrid Castilla in Segunda División B, appearing in 24 games but only starting in three of those.
On 1 February 2011, after having totalled only ten league matches in one and a half seasons, Hernández was loaned to Halmstads BK in Sweden, alongside Castilla teammates Raúl and José Zamora.[2] He returned to his country in the summer, going on to continue competing in the third tier the following years with Salamanca, CD Ourense and Burgos CF.[3]
On 31 August 2016, Hernández joined Górnik Łęczna.[4] On 15 June 2017, he moved to Azerbaijan Premier League club Gabala FK on a one-year contract with an optional second year,[5] but left shortly after and returned to the Polish Ekstraklasa with KS Cracovia.[6]
In August 2019, Hernández signed a deal at ATK of the Indian Super League.[7][8] He scored twice in his debut campaign to win the national championship, with both of his goals coming in the 3–1 final win over Chennaiyin FC.[9]
After a merger, Hernández agreed to a one-year contract with the newly formed ATK Mohun Bagan FC on 30 September 2020.[10] The following 30 July, he moved to Odisha FC of the same league on a one-year deal.[11][12] He scored in the latter's first match of the season against Bengaluru FC (3–1 home victory),[13] repeating the feat the following round – through a direct corner kick – as the hosts defeated SC East Bengal 6–4.[14]
Personal life[]
Guti, who spent the vast majority of his professional career with Real Madrid, is Hernández's cousin.[15]
