Héctor Herrera left the Houston Dynamo in less-than-ideal fashion after spitting in the direction of a referee in a 2024 MLS Cup playoff match against Seattle Sounders FC. After a year away, he’s back on the roster, having signed a one-year deal through the 2026 season.
Now 35 years old, the Mexico international never wanted to leave the club. His option wasn’t picked up in 2024 following the spitting incident, leading him to return to his native country to play with Liga MX side Deporivo Toluca in 2025.
