Ignacio Hierro

Hierro debuted for América on February 8, 1997, as the Aguilas defeated Puebla F.C., 2–0. He was involved in a controversial transfer in 1999, when he was traded to arch-rival club Chivas de Guadalajara, becoming another player to dispute the Mexican SuperClasico for both sides. After Chivas, he joined Atlante in 2000. He bounced around many teams in the Mexican League, most notably CF Monterrey, where he was champion in 2003. Ignacio had become a fixture in Atlante, where he won in Apertura 2007 the Mexican Liguilla. Most recently, he played in 11 games for Atlante's filial team Potros Chetumal during the Apertura 2008, as their vice-captain. He retired early in his career, due to frequent injuries and five surgeries in five years.

Ignacio Hierro was on the Mexican U-20 team for the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship held in Malaysia. He was capped 12 times for the senior team, disputing the 2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup and 2002 CONCACAF Gold Cup, and the Copa América 2001.
