Mexican striker Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez has parted ways with the Los Angeles Galaxy following the expiration of his contract, the team confirmed on Friday. The player has since become a free agent.
“We are grateful to Javier for his dedication and contributions to the LA Galaxy,” head coach and sporting director Greg Vanney announced in a press release. “In four seasons with the Galaxy, Javier was a passionate leader for our club on and off the field. We wish him all the best moving forward.”
Arriving at the club in 2020, Chicharito made 82 appearances for LA Galaxy, scoring 39 goals and bagging six assists. He was twice named an MLS All-Star and won two LA Galaxy Player of the Year awards, with both accolades coming in 2021 and 2022.
