The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are expected to sign Canadian receiver Andy Fantuz to a player contract today, according to CFL sources.

Fantuz had been serving as the organization’s coordinator of player development as he recovers from a torn ACL last October. Hamilton head coach June Jones said last week that Fantuz was getting closer to a return to the field.

Fantuz recorded 101 receptions for 1,059 yards in 2016, earning him Most Outstanding Canadian honours in the East Division.
