TORONTO – The Toronto Argonauts signed Canadian running back Daniel Adeboboye to a contract extension Wednesday.

The 24-year-old is expected to see more playing time in 2024 with the retirement of veteran Canadian Andrew Harris and American A.J. Ouellette’s departure in free agency to the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Adeboboye, 24, appeared in 17 regular-season games last year, rushing 41 times for 287 yards and one touchdown while adding eight catches for 71 yards.

He also recorded 13 special-teams tackles.

The 2022 second-round pick had 17 special-teams tackles as a rookie.

He also ran for 72 yards and recorded four receptions for 16 yards.
