VANCOUVER — Nick Moore will be a BC Lion for at least another year, the team announcing Thursday it has struck a one-year contract extension with the veteran receiver.
Moore was eligible for free agency on Feb. 14.
“Nick is a gifted receiver who gives our offence valuable depth and experience,” said Head Coach and General Manager Wally Buono. “He’s on track to be at full speed for training camp and we look forward to his return.”
Following a three-year stint with the Lions from 2011 to 2013, Moore rejoined the club for the 2016 season after two years in Winnipeg and was enjoying a great start to the year tallying 15 receptions for 205 yards through the first three games of the year before being sidelined with a knee injury.
“I’m very excited to be back with the Lions for 2017,” said Moore from his off-season home in Florida. “After seeing Jonathon and the guys develop into a very dynamic group last year, I’m more motivated than ever to help bring a Grey Cup back to BC.”
CFL free agency begins on Tuesday, Feb. 14. Through the first six weeks of 2017, the club has inked pending free agents Keynan Parker, Rolly Lumbala, Steven Clarke, Hunter Steward and Bryant Turner Jr.
In December, Buono signed pending free agents Solomon Elimimian, Jeremiah Johnson, Mike Benson and Nehemie Kankolongo.
