ANOTHER CFL’ER RETIRES

Running back Matt Walter – who spent the 2016 CFL season with the Saskatchewan Roughriders – announced his retirement on Facebook on Wednesday.

The 5’10”, 215 lb back had a five-year career in the CFL, and spent the first four with his hometown Calgary Stampeders.

The University of Calgary product was a Grey Cup champion with Calgary in 2014.

Last season Walter signed as a free agent with the Roughriders but injuries limited him to just six games where he rushed the ball six times for 32 yards and caught one pass.

Walter mentioned injuries as the primary reason for his decision to call it a career.
