Travis Hernes

Travis Hernes of Newcastle United was born in Heradsbygda, Norway on 4 November 2005 (age 20).

Travis Hernes is a Norwegian central midfielder, born on 4 November 2005 (age 20), who is on the books at Newcastle United. His profile remains a developing one rather than a settled senior career, with his current market value around £128,000 according to Transfermarkt.

His most active league season so far came with Aalborg BK in 2024-25, when he made 12 appearances without scoring. That is a modest body of senior football, but enough to mark him as more than just an academy name.

Hernes’ career is still at an early stage: a Norwegian midfielder attached to Newcastle, with limited senior league experience and a spell in Denmark already behind him.

Hernes's senior record remained thin, with the supplied career data showing no league appearances across the listed spells. His path from Shrewsbury Town to Newcastle United, followed by loans to Aalborg BK and FC Groningen, suggests a player still being assessed for a viable senior level rather than one with an established first-team track record.

The transfer history is dominated by development moves. Newcastle signed Hernes from Shrewsbury Town for an undisclosed fee in 2023, then sent him on loan to Aalborg BK in January 2025 before a later loan to FC Groningen in September 2025. That pattern shows Newcastle retaining control of a low-cost prospect while looking outside their first team for minutes.
