Henoc Muamba is heading back to the National Football League.

The Mississauga linebacker signed as a free agent with the Dallas Cowboys over the weekend, joining his second NFL club following the 2014 season he spent with the Indianapolis Colts.

Muamba, 27, was released by the Colts last year and returned to the Canadian Football League’s (CFL) Montreal Alouettes, recording 14 tackles and an interception through four games.

He was drafted first overall by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 2011 and was named a CFL All-Star in 2013 after recording more than 100 tackles that season.
