CALGARY — The Calgary Stampeders signed American defensive back Demerio Houston to a two-year contract Tuesday.

Calgary reached an agreement in principle with Houston, a 2023 CFL all-star, last week.

The five-foot-10, 170-pound Houston led the CFL in interceptions (seven) and defensive takeaways (10) last season with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. 

Houston registered 50 tackles in 15 regular-season games and helped Winnipeg reach the Grey Cup game for a fourth straight year.

Houston joined the Bombers in 2021, helping them win the Grey Cup that year.
