REGINA – Charleston Hughes is back with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

The veteran American defensive lineman re-signed with Saskatchewan on Tuesday after spending the 2021 campaign with the Toronto Argonauts. Hughes played two seasons with the Riders (2018-19), leading the CFL in sacks both years.

The six-foot-one, 246-pound Hughes enters his 14th CFL season. He had 18 tackles, one special-teams tackle and two sacks in nine games last year with Toronto.

Hughes, a six-time league all-star, played his first 10 CFL seasons with Calgary (2008-17), registering 412 tackles, 38 special-teams tackles, 99 sacks and 23 forced fumbles. He won Grey Cups with the Stampeders in 2008 and ’14.
