Omar Gonzalez will have to earn his place but can prove crucial for Pachuca

Pachuca have bolstered their defensive options with the addition of Omar Gonzalez from LA Galaxy. The center-back was officially announced by Pachuca as one of nine new signings during a Star Wars-themed unveiling on Tuesday morning.

Gonzalez, 27, becomes the third United States international to play for Pachuca, following the footsteps of Jose Francisco Torres and Heculez Gomez.

From a Pachuca perspective, Gonzalez will go straight into the mix of things for a starting spot along with new defensive signings Stefan Medina and Oscar Murillo.

The 2015 Apertura was a difficult one for the Tuzos.
