Club career
Born in Popayán, Cauca Department, Serna began his career in the youth ranks of Deportes Tolima. He went to Portugal to trial at FC Porto, signing a contract to play in their youth teams.

In early 2019, Serna began his senior career at Sportivo Luqueño in the Paraguayan Primera División. He debuted on 16 April as a 74th-minute substitute for Hernán Rivero in a 2–0 loss away to Club Olimpia. In his next game on 3 November, he scored the only goal of a home win against the same opponents; his team were bottom of the table and their opponents at the top.

In 2021, Serna joined Club Cultural Santa Rosa, later renamed Club Deportivo Los Chankas, in the Peruvian Segunda División. His ten goals in 22 games contributed to a promotion to the Peruvian Primera División. He played the next season in the top flight at Asociación Deportiva Tarma, scoring 15 goals over two seasons. On 21 August 2022 he scored a late equaliser in a 1–1 home draw with Club Universitario de Deportes and roughly a year later he assisted the first goal and scored the second in a 2–0 win over the same opponents.

At the end of October 2023, Serna signed for Club Alianza Lima. He scored his first goal for the club and first in continental competition on 3 April 2024, opening a 1–1 home draw with reigning champions Fluminense in the first group game of the Copa Libertadores.

International career
In December 2023, Serna said he was in the process of acquiring Peruvian nationality to play on the Peru national football team. The following month, his naturalisation was completed as he met the requirement of three years' residence, though he would not be able to play for the team for two more years due to FIFA's minimum of five years' residence.
