Feb 15, 2019 | 11:20 AM

REGINA — The Saskatchewan Roughriders have re-signed all-star kicker Brett Lauther to a one-year extension, keeping him with the club through 2020.

The native of Truro, N.S., was named a West Division all-star last year after nailing 54 of 60 field-goal attempts for a 90 per-cent success rate, the second-best mark in Roughriders history.

Lauther, 28, was named the Riders’ most outstanding special-teams player and top Canadian last year.

Lauther broke into the league with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in 2013, but didn’t get another shot in the regular season until last year.
