Speller appeared in 15 games for the Bombers over the past two seasons after joining the club as an undrafted free agent.

As an injury replacement for Michael Couture, Speller started at centre in all three of their playoff games en route to winning the 2019 Grey Cup.

The entire Bombers’ starting offensive line from their championship season is already under contract for the 2021 season with Couture, Stanley Bryant, Jermarcus Hardrick, Patrick Neufeld, and Drew Desjarlais all signed.
