Paz, who is a Pachuca youth Academy product, joins Pumas as a free agent, after having played for a number of LigaMX and Liga de Ascenso (Mexican second division) clubs, including Veracruz, Oaxaca, Irapuato and Tlaxcala. The goalkeeper now becomes Pumas' fifth transfer in this window, following Brazilians Higor Meritao and Jose Rogeiro, as well as Washington Corozo and Efrain Velarde.
