TORONTO – The Toronto Argonauts have re-signed Canadian defensive back Matt Black, the team announced today. 

Black, a nine-year CFL veteran, returns to the Double Blue after being released by the club last week. The Saginaw Valley product played all 109 of his career regular season games in Double Blue after being selected by the team in the sixth round (45th overall) of the 2008 CFL Draft.

In 109 career games, the Toronto native tallied 128 defensive tackles, 80 special teams tackles, three interceptions, two sacks and two forced fumbles. The 2012 Grey Cup champion also appeared in six playoff games for the Boatmen, registering one defensive tackle, five special teams tackles, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
