Pedro Pablo Hernández (born 24 October 1986) is a Chilean footballer who plays for Spanish club Celta de Vigo as an attacking midfielder.

Club career

Born in Tucumán, Hernández moved to Buenos Aires at early age, and subsequently joined Racing Club's youth setup.[1] He was released in 2005, aged 19, and returned to his hometown. After failing in a trial at San Martín de Tucumán, Hernández moved to Atlético Tucumán. He made his senior debuts in 2006, and moved abroad two years later, joining Racing Montevideo.

On 7 August 2009 Hernández moved to Defensor Sporting.[2] He made his debut on the 23rd, starting in a 5–1 home routing over Atenas de San Carlos, and scored his first goal roughly a month later, netting the last of a 4–0 win at Central Español.

On 1 July 2010, D.C. United officially announced the loan signing of Hernández from Uruguayan club Defensor Sporting, after he trialed with the club.[3] Despite being a regular starter for DCU, he rescinded his link on 7 January of the following year,[4] and moved to Argentinos Juniors late in the month.[5]

In July 2013 Hernández joined O'Higgins, as a replacement for Universidad de Chile-bound Juan Rodrigo Rojas.[6] He was a part of the side which won the campaign's Apertura tournament, scoring seven goals in 18 matches (including one in the final against Universidad Católica).[7]

On 26 June 2014, Hernández moved teams and countries again, after agreeing to a four-year deal with La Liga side Celta de Vigo,[8] for an 1.6 million fee.[9] He made his debut for the club on 30 August, replacing Nolito in the 85th minute of a 1–1 away draw against Córdoba CF.[10] He scored his first goal in 2-2 draw with Athletico Madrid

International career

Hernández obtained Chilean nationality in December 2013, after having ancestry from his grandmother.[11] He then was called up by Jorge Sampaoli to represent his new country's main squad in a friendly against Costa Rica.[12] He made his international debut on 22 January 2014, scoring the second and third in a 4–0 win at the Estadio Municipal Francisco Sánchez Rumoroso.[13]
