The Ottawa Redblacks have re-signed Canadian defensive lineman Nigel Romick, inking him to a one-year contract extension. He became a free agent last week.

The 33-year-old dressed for 12 regular-season games with the Redblacks last season, recording six special teams tackles.

“Nigel has been a pillar of our team for over ten years, with his relentless work ethic and consistent physical style of play,” said head coach Bob Dyce in a statement. “His leadership will again be a great asset to our football club this season.”
