The LA Galaxy announced on Tuesday they have signed goalkeeper Richard Sanchez on a one-year contract, with a club option for the 2023 season.
The 27-year-old joins after a well-traveled career around North America. Beginning his pro career out of the FC Dallas academy in 2011, he was sold to Liga MX power Tigres UANL in 2014. However, the youngster was buried on the depth chart at both clubs and never made a first-team appearance for them, although he had loan stints at Ft. Lauderdale Strikers and Tampico Madero, where he did feature.
In 2017, out of contract, Sanchez returned to MLS, signing for the Chicago Fire, where he made 27 appearances in two seasons.
