The CFL’s Saskatchewan Roughriders have signed Regina-born punter Jon Ryan to a one-year contract extension.

Ryan was eligible to become a free agent Feb. 11.

The 38-year-old is heading into his second season with the Roughriders. Last season, he punted 107 times for a 48.8-yard average en route to being named a West Division all-star.

He also was Saskatchewan’s nominee for the CFL award as outstanding special-teams player.

Ryan, who played high school football with the Sheldon-Williams Spartans before joining the University of Regina Rams, began his CFL career with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 2004.
