Ronald Cecil Herrera (16 January 1905 – 16 March 1973) was a Welsh international rugby union player.
Herrera hailed from Wattsville, near Crosskeys, and began playing senior rugby in 1921–22.[1]
A forward, Herrera had a quick rise in rugby and gained his first Wales call up in 1925, within a year of having been in the Cross Keys reserves.[2] He was capped eight times for Wales and scored two tries. By the end of his international career, Herrera had transferred to Newport RFC, upon joining the Newport Borough Police.[3] He retired from rugby in 1931.[1]
