RIDERS SIGN DAN CLARK TO 2-YEAR EXTENSION
The Saskatchewan Roughriders have signed centre Dan Clark to a two-year contract extension, keeping him with the Club through the 2021 season.
Clark (6’2 – 310 lbs) returns after a 2019 season that saw him named a CFL All-Star for the first time in his eight-season CFL career. Clark was also named the Roughriders Most Outstanding Lineman. The 31-year-old was a stalwart on an offensive line that saw many changes due to injury, but went on to allow just 37 sacks. The offensive line also opened up holes for the run game which averaged 112.8 yards per game for a total of 2,030 yards and a league-high 26 rushing touchdowns. After overcoming injuries from a serious car accident before training camp, Clark played every game this season, including his 100th career game on July 27 against the BC Lions.
Clark, who was born and raised in Regina, initially joined the Club as a territorial junior in 2009. He’s played 112 career regular-season games, six playoff games and the 2013 Grey Cup with the Green and White after making his pro debut August 19, 2012.

Clark had a inspirational season 2019, can he keep that pace or better for another two years at his age? This Roughrider Club needs to get younger fast before old age slaps them upside the head. Roughriders a old team.
The # 1 story of the decade for the Saskatchewan Roughriders Football Club was hands down the hiring of Chris Jones and his wonderful masterful rebuild of the whole organization from A to Z. Thank you Craig Reynolds for the astute hire that has the Roughriders back on the map of professional football. Now it’s up to the staff he left behind to get the job done and win a CFL championship title. Go Roughriders.
