Robertson Heading West

Vancouver) The BC Lions Football Club announced today that import running back Jamal Robertson has signed with the team. In keeping with club policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed.

"Jamal is a proven running back in our league and I believe he helps fill a significant need we have at that position," said Lions GM and head coach Wally Buono.

Spending the 2008 and 2009 seasons with the Toronto Argonauts, Robertson recorded 326 career carries for 1,676 yards and 15 TD's. He also racked up an additional 753 yards and a TD on 86 receptions.

"I'm very excited to be joining the Lions," said Robertson from his offseason home in Georgia. "They were tough to play against the past two seasons and I'm glad to be going out west to be part of a team that's making some big offseason moves."
