The Ottawa REDBLACKS have re-signed international receiver Diontae Spencer to a one-year contract extension, the club announced Wednesday.

Spencer, the CFL’s top pending free agent, had a breakout season with the REDBLACKS last year. Not only did the 25-year-old record 922 yards on 71 receptions in his first year with Ottawa, he also proved to be a dominant force in the return game. Along with a record-breaking performance against Hamilton last October in which he had 496 all-purpose yards, Spencer finished the year with 929 punt return yards, 607 kickoff return yards and 260 yards returning missed field goals.

Since then, he has proven himself to be a steady presence up front and a respected voice in the locker room. In his four years with the team, the 6-foot-6, 294-lb Arnprior native has appeared in 54 games and has been a regular fixture at many of the club’s community events over the years.
