Feb 11, 2019 | 5:06 PM

Just a day before he was set to hit the free agent market Sam Hurl has signed a deal to stay in the green and white.

The 28-year-old returned to the Saskatchewan Roughriders last season after spending the previous three in Winnipeg.

Hurl’s career began in Saskatchewan after the club drafted him in 2012. He spent three seasons with the Riders the first go-round before signing as a free agent with the Blue Bombers.

Hurl, who’s from Calgary and played college football at the University of Calgary, played all 18 games of the 2018 regular season. He also started in the 2018 west semi-final against the Blue Bombers. He made 41 defensive tackles, six special-teams tackles and two tackles for loss, adding another three tackles in the playoffs.
