Anthony Hallborg, from Warman, Sask., signed a one-year deal with the team on Monday.

Hallborg was drafted 58th overall by the Rush in the 2017 National Lacrosse League (NLL) entry draft from the Junior A Saskatchewan SWAT.

The 22-year-old defenceman attended training camp last year and played in one pre-season game.

The other player signed by the Rush to a one-year deal is no stranger to head coach and general manager Derek Keenan.

Jordi Jones-Smith grew up being coached in Whitby, Ont. by Keenan, and developed his box lacrosse skills with the Junior A Whitby Warriors.

He also played field lacrosse for the University of Western Ontario Mustangs.
