Mexican soccer star Javier 'Chicharito' Hernández has rejoined his boyhood club Chivas Guadalajara after a stint with the LA Galaxy. Chicharito, who is 35 years old, was a free agent following his contract expiration with the LA Galaxy. During his time with the Galaxy, he had a mixed performance, but his last two seasons were notable, with Chicharito scoring 35 goals and providing 6 assists in 53 appearances. The return to Chivas was officially announced, and the club welcomed him back with celebrations, including fireworks, as fans showed their support in style. Chicharito was visibly emotional during the welcome, reflecting on the journey since he left the club in 2010 after beginning his career there in 1997.
