LA Galaxy, former England captain David Beckham's struggling new team, have signed Honduras striker Carlos Pavon.

The 33-year-old, who has played in Mexico, Guatemala, Spain and Italy as well as his native country, will join the Galaxy subject to receiving a work permit, the MLS club said.

"I am extremely pleased that the Galaxy had confidence in my abilities, and am also proud to be with such a great institution," Pavon said.

Galaxy are second-bottom of the six-team MLS Western Conference and went nearly two months without a win before Sunday's 3-2 victory over bottom club Real Salt Lake. Beckham is expected to join up with the Galaxy in mid-July.
