The 29-year-old American had spent the last five seasons with the Montreal Alouettes before being released last week.

The B.C. Lions signed the veteran running back to a one-year contract on Tuesday.

“I want to come out there and do everything I have to do to be the best that I can be,” the newly signed Lion said Wednesday.
