Lions sign receiver Keon Hatcher Sr. to a two-year extension

VANCOUVER — Keon Hatcher Sr. is staying in the Lions Den.

The BC Lions have signed Hatcher Sr. to a two-year extension, the team announced on Wednesday. The receiver was slated to become a free agent in February.

“Hatch epitomizes what it is to be a BC Lion,” said general manager Ryan Rigmaiden. “He’s a dynamic playmaker that’s smart, tough and puts the team before himself. As great as he’s become on the field, I’m just as proud of the leadership role he’s taken and the effect he has in our locker room. I’m looking forward to what he and Nathan Rourke do in the future!”
