MISSISSAUGA – The Toronto Argonauts Football Club is thrilled to announce that non-import OL Wayne Smith has signed with the club. Smith has signed through the 2014 season.
Commented new Argos lineman, Wayne Smith, “The opportunity to play for the Argonauts and contribute in any way I can to the success of the team is exciting. Toronto is headed in the right direction and there are a lot of great players in the locker room on both sides of the ball. Playing and living in this community is also very important to me as I have a lot of great relationships here. I’ve dedicated myself this off-season to training and after dressing in all 20 games last year I feel great and I’m ready to compete.”
