MONTREAL — S.J. Green will retire Friday as a member of the Montreal Alouettes.

The CFL club announced Wednesday that Green will sign a one-day contract with the Alouettes in Montreal, and then call it a career. He will also attend the team’s game Saturday against the Toronto Argonauts.

The six-foot-two, 217-pound Green, a native of Fort Worth, Tex., played 13 CFL seasons with Montreal (2007-16) and Toronto (2017-19). He registered 716 catches for 10,222 yards with 60 TDs over 116 regular-season games.

He was named a league all-star twice and an East Division all-star eight times.

Green, 37, won Grey Cups with Montreal (2009, 2010) and Toronto (2017). His last championship came after missing the 2016 season with a serious knee injury.
