REGINA — The Saskatchewan Roughriders signed Canadian free-agent receiver Jake Harty to a two-year contract Sunday.

The six-foot-two, 210-pound Calgary native spent his first three CFL seasons with the Ottawa Redblacks.

Harty had 36 catches for 307 yards and a TD in 34 career regular-season games with Ottawa after being selected in the second round, 10th overall, in the 2015 CFL draft.

Harty also appeared in three playoff games and two Grey Cups, winning in 2016.
