Luca Has A New Home

From TSN.ca

Non-import kicker/punter Luca Congi has signed with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Hamilton is expected to make the announcement official on Friday.

The Tiger-Cats have been looking for kicking help since Justin Medlock, an East Division all-star last year for the Cats, signed with the Carolina Panthers of the NFL earlier this off-season.

Congi, 28, has five years experience in the league, all with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. He missed the start of last season recovering from a knee injury suffered in 2010 before losing his starting job to rookie Chris Milo.

Congi has hit on 166 of 209 career field goals for a 79.4% success rate. He has a career punting average of 38.1 yards.

The Ticats have one other kicker on roster in 23-year-old Josh Maveety. Congi and Maveety will compete for kicking duties in training camp.
