Vela has officially joined LAFC on a contract until the end of the 2024 MLS season, the club announced Monday. The deal also includes a club option for 2025.

Vela returns to LAFC as one of the most decorated players in MLS history and the club's all-time leader in games played (152), minutes (11,194), goals (78) and assists (59). He's not expected to become a starter right away, but he should figure decent minutes off the bench if needed.
