The Ottawa Redblacks have signed Canadian running back Ante Milanovic-Litre to a one-year contract.

The move comes just three days after the versatile back was released by the Edmonton Elks. Milanovic-Litre had signed a contract extension with the team in January but the organization suddenly reversed course.

The 28-year-old played all 18 games for the Elks in 2022, seeing time at tailback, fullback and on special teams. He notched 241 rushing yards and a touchdown, as well as 89 receiving yards.
