VANCOUVER — The B.C. Lions Football Club have signed veteran fullback Rolly Lumbala to a contract extension through the 2016 season.

Lumbala was originally selected by the Lions in the second round, ninth overall, at the 2008 CFL draft.

Lumbala was the Lions' nominee as Most Outstanding Canadian last season.
