Hernâni Jorge Santos Fortes (born 20 August 1991), known simply as Hernâni, is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Greek club Olympiacos F.C. on loan from FC Porto as a forward.

Club career

Born in Lisbon of Cape Verdean descent, Hernâni started playing with local Atlético Clube de Portugal. In the 2010–11 season he contributed with 21 appearances – only one start – to help the club return to the Segunda Liga after a lengthy absence, making his debut in the competition on 4 September 2011 by coming on as a 73rd-minute substitute in a 2–1 away win against C.D. Santa Clara.[1]

In January 2013, Hernâni signed with Vitória de Guimarães, being initially assigned to the B-team in the second level. His first Primeira Liga appearance occurred on 28 Abril of that year, when he featured one minute in a 2–2 home draw to F.C. Paços de Ferreira.

Hernâni joined FC Porto in the last day of the 2015 January transfer window, after scoring four goals for Vitória in the first half of the campaign.[2] He played his first game precisely against his former side, when he replaced Ricardo Quaresma for the last minutes of the 1–0 home success on 13 February.

Hernâni moved to Olympiacos F.C. in the Superleague Greece on 31 August 2015, in a season-long loan.[3] On 3 April 2016, he netted twice for the second consecutive league game to help to a 4–0 home win against Panthrakikos FC,[4] going on to finish with 25 games and eight goals all competitions comprised.
