Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez is returning to Chivas in Mexico’s Liga MX following a four-year stint with the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Hernandez, 35, played in 74 MLS matches (65 starts) for Los Angeles from 2020–23 and scored 38 goals with six assists. He had 17 goals in 2021 and 18 in 2022 before being limited to just one over nine matches in 2023, as his season was cut short in June due to a torn ACL in his right knee.
