Club career

Loan at DAC 1904 Dunajská Streda

Herc made his professional Fortuna Liga debut for FC DAC 1904 Dunajská Streda against Senica on 18 February 2018. He came on as a replacement for Zsolt Kalmár in the 83rd minute of the match. DAC won the game 0:2.[2] By the end of the 2017–18 season, Herc made a total of 13 appearances for Dunajská Streda, scoring 3 goals.

He scored his first Fortuna liga goal against Zemplín Michalovce in his second game, on 24 February 2018. He replaced Marko Divković in a 77th minute substitution and scored a stoppage time goal to mark the 2:0 win, after a pass from Lukáš Čmelík. Later on in the championship group, on 22 April, he scored two of three in a 3:2 win over MŠK Žilina at the pod Dubňom.

Throughout the 2018–19 season, Herc was an important player for Dunajská Streda. He was featured in 29 of 32 league fixtures and scored 3 further goals. He was also featured in all four DAC games in Europa League qualifying rounds, against Dinamo Tbilisi and Dinamo Minsk.

Loan at Viktoria Plzeň

On 5 June 2019, it was announced that Herc would join Viktoria Plzeň since the following season, on a two-year loan with an option to buy, from Wolverhampton. His move was largely seen as a replacement for Patrik Hrošovský, who was the play-maker at Viktoria for some 7 years, guiding them to three titles as champions and one cup triumph. Although at the time of the announcements of Herc's move Hrošovský's transfer was not definite, it was rumoured that he was to head to Genk.[3]
