REGINA — The Saskatchewan Roughriders have re-signed international offensive lineman Thaddeus Coleman, the team announced Friday.

Coleman, a 6-foot-8, 320-pound tackle, returns to the Riders after becoming a free agent on Feb. 14. The 31-year-old Mississippi Valley State product was originally acquired by the Riders in a May, 2016 trade with the Edmonton Eskimos where he spent his first three CFL seasons.

Last year, Coleman started all 18 regular season games for the Green and White spending time at both right and left tackle. He was named the Riders’ Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman at season’s end.
