The Saskatchewan Roughriders have traded national fullback Spencer Moore to the Montreal Alouettes in exchange for a conditional selection in the 2020 CFL Draft.

Moore played 81 regular-season games through six seasons with the Riders after originally being selected by the team in the 5th round (44th overall) of the 2013 CFL Draft.

The 28-year-old Hamilton native added four career playoff games and was a member of the Riders’ 2013 Grey Cup championship team.
