OTTAWA - The Ottawa REDBLACKS have re-signed national defensive back Ty Cranston, the team announced today.
"I'm very excited to be re-signing with Ottawa, and continuing my career with the REDBLACKS. Ottawa has become my home over the past 10 years and I'm excited to work to rebuild the strong REDBLACKS legacy that I've witnessed throughout my time in Ottawa," Cranston said. "I'm looking forward to continuing to work with Coach Dyce, and reuniting with Khari Jones and Barron Miles. All three are coaches I greatly respect, and have lots to offer this team and the city moving forward."
Cranston, 28, arrived to Ottawa during the 2022 offseason, after having spent three seasons with the Montreal Alouettes.
