Hernes joined Newcastle United in September 2023, after moving from Shrewsbury Town. He made a notable debut in an EFL Trophy match against Wolverhampton Wanderers, scoring at just 16 years old.
FC Groningen has announced Hernes' arrival, stating that he will join the team's first selection and wear the number 7 jersey. The club also has the option to buy Hernes permanently at the end of the season, which could impact his future with Newcastle United.
Shrewsbury Town, Hernes' previous club, had included a 20% sell-on clause in his transfer deal to Newcastle United two years ago. This clause could be triggered if Groningen chooses to purchase Hernes' contract.
Hernes' move to FC Groningen will give him valuable experience playing in the Eredivisie, and it remains to be seen how he will perform in his new role.
