Club career

In June 2016, Héber switched teams within the Croatian league, joining Rijeka from Slaven Belupo for a transfer fee of €450,000.[2] He signed a three-year contract with the club with an option for a two-year extension.[3]

On 21 March 2019, Héber joined Major League Soccer side New York City FC.[4] He was the team's leading scorer for the 2019 season with 15 goals. In a match against Toronto FC, Héber tore his ACL, ending his 2020 season.[5]

He was traded to Seattle Sounders FC on 29 December 2022 in exchange for $400,000 in General Allocation Money, with potential for a further $150,000 should certain conditions be met.[6] Héber made his debut for the club in the 2022 FIFA Club World Cup and later scored in his first MLS match on 26 February against the Colorado Rapids.[7] He was released from the team at the end of the season.[8]
