The Montreal Alouettes officially announced on Thursday the one-year contract extension of Montreal wide receiver Régis Cibasu, confirming the return of a player appreciated for both his versatility and leadership.

This agreement ensures the presence of a reliable veteran on the roster for the upcoming Canadian Football League season.

The 32-year-old Régis Cibasu played in all of the Alouettes' games last season, including the Grey Cup final. Used primarily on special teams, he recorded six tackles while contributing to the offense with 14 receptions for a total of 80 yards.

A versatile player and respected in the locker room

Since arriving in Montreal in 2021, Régis Cibasu has established himself as a player capable of filling several roles. In addition to playing receiver, he has also been used at fullback, demonstrating great adaptability that makes the coaching staff's job easier.

However, his contribution is not limited to statistics. Team management regularly highlights his professionalism and positive influence on younger players.

A career firmly rooted in Québécois football

A native of the Pointe-Saint-Charles neighborhood, Cibasu had a brilliant university career with the Université de Montréal Carabins, capped by a Vanier Cup victory in 2014. He was then drafted in the third round by the Toronto Argonauts in 2018, with whom he played one season before joining the Alouettes.

In six seasons in the CFL, he has played in 88 games, notably winning the Grey Cup in 2023 with Montreal.

Renewed confidence from management

General Manager Danny Maciocia made no secret of his satisfaction at seeing Cibasu continue the adventure.

He highlighted his versatility, exemplary attitude, and leadership, qualities deemed essential to the stability and culture of the team.

With this extension, the Alouettes secure an experienced player who continues to make a valuable contribution, both on the field and in the locker room.
