Colombia captain James Rodriguez has returned to LaLiga for a second stint after signing with Rayo Vallecano on a free transfer, the Spanish club announced on Monday.
The 33-year-old, who made 125 appearances for LaLiga giants Real Madrid between 2014-2020, joins Vallecano after leaving Brazilian side Sao Paulo. Vallecano did not disclose the length of the contract.
Rodriguez, capped 106 times for his country, had a fine Copa America campaign during which he scored one goal and provided six assists to lead Colombia to the final and was named as the tournament's Best Player. Colombia lost 1-0 to Argentina in the final.
Vallecano next host Barcelona in LaLiga on Tuesday.
