The B.C. Lions have signed former Redblacks receiver and returner Ryan Lankford.

Ottawa released Lankford on July 8 following a return gaffe in a Week 4 loss to Winnipeg.

Lankford started his CFL career with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, spent two seasons with the Bombers and signed in the nation’s capital as a free agent last February.
