Hernandez's last appearance in La Liga came in 2012 at Valencia, the club with whom he is most closely associated, and where his professional career kicked off.

Supporters of the Premier League, however, are likely more familiar with Hernandez and his passing abilities from the two seasons he spent at Swansea City, the Welsh club with whom he tallied five goals and 13 assists through 57 appearances between 2012 and 2014.
