The B.C. Lions have signed quarterback Will Arndt to a contract extension for the 2021 season.

Arndt was eligible to become a free agent in February. He originally joined the Lions in 2020 following a stint with the Ottawa Redblacks where he completed 103-of-165 passes for 940 yards with three touchdowns and six interceptions after being named the starter for the final four games of 2019, all losses.

“Will is a player with tremendous upside,” Lions co-GM and head coach Rick Campbell said in a statement.
