The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have given an early Christmas present to their fans.
The team has announced it has re-signed international receiver Jalen Saunders for the 2019 CFL season.
Saunders made 45 catches for 739 yards and scored two touchdowns in nine games this season before he suffered a season-ending knee injury on Sept. 3 against Toronto.
The Stockton, Calif., native has played in 25 games over two seasons with the Ticats, recording 121 receptions for 1,909 yards and six TDs.
Saunders, 26, led Hamilton with 1,070 receiving yards in his rookie season in 2017.
The Tiger-Cats have a host of other receivers who are set to become free agents in February including Brandon Banks, Mike Jones, Terrell Sinkfield and Terrence Toliver.
