REGINA — The Saskatchewan Roughriders have signed homegrown offensive linemen Dan Clark and Brendon LaBatte through the 2022 season.

The Regina-born Clark was a CFL all-star in 2019, helping the Roughriders score a league-high 26 rushing touchdowns.

Clark, who played all 18 games last year, made his Roughriders debut in 2012 after joining the club as a territorial junior in 2009.

LaBatte played six games last year after recovering from injury.

The native of Weyburn, Sask., is a six-time CFL all-star and was the CFL’s most outstanding lineman in 2013.

A first-round pick (sixth overall) by Winnipeg in the 2008 CFL draft, LaBatte played four seasons for the Blue Bombers before joining the Roughriders.
