BC Lions Football Club GM and head coach Wally Buono kicked-off the second day of CFL free agency today by officially announcing that international wide receiver Nick Moore has signed a one-year contract with the team.
“Nick is a veteran receiver who fills a need identified by our offensive coaches,” said Buono. “He obviously knows our organization and what it is we’re trying to achieve and I believe he’s going to be a great fit for our team this season.”
Moore returns to the Lions following a two-year stint in Winnipeg with the Blue Bombers where he appeared in 24 games tallying 120 receptions for 1,452 yards and four touchdowns. Prior to his time with the Bombers, he notched his finest season as a pro while with the Lions in 2013 hauling in 73 passes for 1,105 yards and six touchdowns.
The seasoned vet and smooth route-runner has now appeared in 53 regular season games over five seasons and has tallied 230 career receptions for 3,006 yards and 12 touchdowns.
