The Saskatchewan Roughriders announced today that import linebacker Reggie Hunt has signed a one-day contract with the team and will subsequently retire as a Roughrider.
Hunt played six seasons with the Roughriders (2002-2007) before leaving the team to sign as a free agent with the Montreal Alouettes and Edmonton Eskimos.
"Reggie was very athletic, made big plays and was always all over the field," said Defensive Coordinator Richie Hall. "He was very quiet and caring off the field and had a great sense of humour."
In his time with the Green and White, Hunt tallied 452 defensive tackles, 45 special team tackles, 27 quarterback sacks, 26 tackles for a loss, eight fumble returns, seven forced fumbles and five interceptions in 106 regular season games.
The Texas Christian product was named a West Division All-Star in 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, a CFL All-Star in 2007 and was a member of the 2007 Grey Cup Championship team.
Nicknamed "The Reaper", Hunt has recently moved back to his hometown in Texas after spending the last few years working for SaskTel in Regina.
