Pachuca announced Darth Vader as the club's brand new signing on Tuesday, or so it seemed.
In a slightly bizarre Star Wars-themed unveiling - during the week the latest installment of the series which hit cinema screens around the world - the Mexican side went over to the dark side to present the movie villian to the media.
With a stormtrooper, Jedi and Chewbacca on hand at the press conference, Pachuca kept their latest acquisition under wraps until Omar Gonzalez removed his mask to reveal he was the club's new defender.

The villain removed his mask to reveal Omar Gonzalez who has completed a move from LA Galaxy
The LA Galaxy centre back, an American-born son of Mexican parents, made his international debut in 2009 but has seen his career stalled by injuries.
Gonzalez joined Bundesliga side Nuremburg on loan in 2012 but failed to make a single appearance for the club after injuring his anterior cruciate ligament.
During his time with the Galaxy, the 27-year-old helped the club win three MLS Cup titles, was voted 2011 Defender of the Year and is a four-time pick for the league's MLS Best XI.
With 30 caps for the US, Gonzalez featured in his nation's last group game of the World Cup in Brazil as well as the last 16 defeat by Belgium.
