WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have signed Sergio Castillo to a one-year contract as the veteran kicker looks to build on an outstanding 2023 CFL campaign.

Castillo joined the Bombers for a third stint in May after being released by the Edmonton Elks.

He went on to set a club record by converting 90.2 per cent (46 of 51) of his field goal attempts last year.

Castillo was 31 of 31 inside the 40-yard line, 15 of 20 in 40-plus yard attempts and four of six from 50 yards-plus, including a season-long of 53 yards.
