Club career
[edit]Early career
[edit]Born in Brou-sur-Chantereine, France, Héry started playing football when he was six and joined US Torcy. Héry then joined Paris Saint-Germain.[2] Héry revealed he went on a trial at Toulouse, Strasbourg and Auxerre.[3]
After two years at PSG since turning professional,[3] Héry was released by the club before joining EFL Championship club Sheffield Wednesday in the summer of 2012.[4] Héry stated moving to England helped him cope leaving PSG.[5]
Rochdale
[edit]Having been unable to break into the Sheffield Wednesday side Héry joined League Two side Rochdale on 8 May 2013 on a free transfer.[6] Upon joining Rochdale, Héry was given the number fourteen shirt.[7]
He made his professional debut on 6 August 2013 in a Football League Cup match at Doncaster Rovers.[8] Soon after, Héry spoke about his move to Rochdale, quoting: "Last season at Sheffield Wednesday I only played in the development squad so this is my first experience of first team football and I'm enjoying it. I have learnt more in three months here playing first team football than I did during one year with the development squad."[9] Héry scored his first goal for the club on 12 October 2013, in a 3–0 win over Newport County.[10] After only making twelve appearances that season, Rochdale were promoted to League One. Héry signed a new two-year contract with Rochdale on 27 June 2014.[11]
In 2014–15 season, Héry scored his first goal of the season, in a 3–2 win against Swindon Town on 21 October 2014.[12] In his second season at Rochdale, Héry made twenty-eight appearances and scoring once in all competition, as Rochdale remained in League One for another season.
Héry was subject to a media report in February 2015 which suggested that he had called the town of his home club a "dump",[13] Héry denied the report was accurate and stated he had been misquoted by the French media from which the interview was conducted.[14] On 24 June 2015, Héry left Rochdale by mutual consent.
Carlisle United
[edit]On 24 June 2015, Héry joined League Two side Carlisle United on a one-year contract.[15] Héry gained national recognition for his performance in the third round of the League Cup, assisting Derek Asamoah in a goal against Liverpool to draw the game 1–1 at full time.[16] The game went to a penalty shootout and Héry missed the decisive kick which eliminated Carlisle.[17]
Accrington Stanley
[edit]Héry left Carlisle at the end of the 2015–16 season to join league two play-off finalists Accrington Stanley for the 2016–17 season on an initial one-year contract with a view to extend for a second.[18]
Limerick
[edit]On 22 January 2017 Héry signed for League of Ireland Premier Division side Limerick for the 2017 season. Initially used as a substitute, Hery eventually won a starting place and his performances in midfield won him both awards for both man-of-the-match and Player of the Month. His one goal of the 2017 season came when he scored a crucial last-minute goal at home to Bray to put Limerick 4–3 in front.
Waterford
[edit]Héry signed for Waterford for the 2018 League of Ireland Premier Division season.[19] Héry made his debut in a 2–1 win against Derry City on 17 February 2018.

The next day, he impressed in his debut game for Linfield at home against Rosenberg in a 2–0 defeat in the 2019–20 UEFA Champions League first qualifying round.[25] A 6–0 aggregate defeat saw Linfield drop down into the UEFA Europa League second qualifying round Champions Path, where they faced Faroese champions HB Tórshavn. A 3–2 win on aggregate secured a place in the third qualifying round of the Europa League for the first time. After the win, Linfield goalkeeper Gareth Deane praised Héry, saying "His ability on the ball and passing is superb. He's also so calm and collected in possession. He wants to get on the ball and take possession even if there are two men up his back. He's been fabulous so far".[26] Linfield faced Montenegro champions Sutjeska in the Europa League third qualifying round. They won 2–1 in the away leg with Héry setting up the winner with a through ball to Kirk Miller.[27] This was followed up with a 3–2 win in the second leg at Windsor Park, with Linfield winning 5–3 on aggregate to become the first Irish League side to reach the play-off round of the Europa League. In the play-off round, the Blues were drawn to face Azerbaijan champions Qarabağ, with the winners qualifying for the Europa League group stage. After winning 3–2 at home, they lost the away tie 2–1 to exit the Europa League under the away goals rule.[28]
