The Saskatchewan Roughriders have solidified their roster for the upcoming season, announcing the return of a key special teams contributor. Fullback Thomas Bertrand-Hudon has agreed to a one-year contract extension with the Canadian Football League club.
Details of the Contract Extension
The team made the official announcement on December 17, 2025. The new deal will keep the Canadian fullback in green and white for at least one more campaign. While specific financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed, the one-year nature of the pact is confirmed.
Bertrand-Hudon, who joined the Roughriders, has carved out a significant role primarily on special teams. His physical style of play and understanding of the game's nuances have made him a valuable asset in the league's third phase.
Bertrand-Hudon's Role and Team Impact
This move provides continuity for the Roughriders' special teams unit and offensive backfield depth. Retaining domestic talent is a crucial component of roster building in the CFL's salary cap era, and Bertrand-Hudon fits that profile as a national player.
The signing occurs during the CFL's off-season, a critical period for teams to re-sign their own pending free agents before they can test the open market. By securing Bertrand-Hudon now, the Riders prevent the possibility of him entering free agency in February.
Team management often highlights the importance of a strong core of Canadian players, and this extension aligns with that philosophy. Bertrand-Hudon's familiarity with the team's systems, coaches, and expectations should allow him to contribute immediately when training camp opens.
Fans in Regina and across Rider Nation will be pleased to see a familiar face returning to the lineup for another season at Mosaic Stadium.
