As free agency opened across the CFL Wednesday, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers signed import offensive lineman Glenn January to a contract extension.

January, only 28, has been with the Bombers since the 2009 season. He was eligible to become a free agent at 11 a.m., but, as expected, decided to stay with the Blue and Gold. Terms of the deal were not released.

The Texas Tech product appeared in all 18 regular season games and both playoff games in 2011, returning to his starting spot on the O-line after missing the 2010 season with a torn pectoral muscle.

The 6-foot-5, 310-pound tackle was named an East Division all-star last year.

“Coming off a serious injury to being named a divisional all-star is something to be proud of and we’re very happy we were able to keep another member of our offensive line in tact,” Bombers GM Joe Mack said in a statement.

The Bombers now have three offensive line starters from the 2011 season locked up for the 2012 campaign. January joins guard Steve Morley (who re-signed Tuesday) and centre Obby Khan, who was already under contract.
