TAMPA BAY - The five-time world champion Tampa Bay Storm have acquired quarterback John Kaleo from the Columbus Destroyers in exchange for future considerations today, Head Coach and General Manager Tim Marcum announced.

"We are excited to see John back in uniform for us", Marcum said. "John brings a wealth of experience and leadership with him and we are looking for a big year out of him."

Kaleo previously played for the Storm in the 2003 when he lead the Storm to its AFL-record fifth world championship. During the 2003 season Kaleo passed for 4,188 yards and 78 touchdowns.

"Now I have an opportunity to jump back in the saddle in Tampa to pick up where I left off and win another championship. It is a happy day. I look forward to finishing my career here and playing in front of my family and friends."
