Hamilton Tiger-Cats ink star receiver Brandon Banks to two-year extension
HAMILTON — Star receiver Brandon Banks has signed a two-year extension with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
The 31-year-old finished the 2018 season first in the CFL in receiving touchdowns and second in receiving yards and receptions, despite missing four games. He suffered a season-ending broken clavicle in the 16th game on the 18-game schedule.
“Brandon has been one of the premier playmakers in the Canadian Football League throughout his career; initially on special teams as a returner and now on offence as an explosive every-down receiver,” Ticats head coach Orlondo Steinauer said in a statement. “We’re extremely excited to have him under contract for the next two seasons.”
The five-foot-seven, 150-pound Banks set a club record with 10 games with 100-plus yards. He was named a CFL all-star for the third time in his career — and first as a receiver after spending much of the earlier part of his career primarily on special teams.
