The B.C. Lions announced Wednesday that running back Andrew Harris has signed a contract extension keeping him through the 2015 season. Harris enters his fifth year with the Lions and has has 2,568 rushing yards on 251 career carries with 15 touchdowns.

“Andrew is a very talented running back who along with Stefan Logan, gives our offence a lot of options,” said VP of football operations and GM Wally Buono in a statement. “This is a big step in the continuing effort to build a championship team and I'm very pleased to have Andrew as a Lion for years to come.”

Last season, Harris was just two yards short of the 1,000-yard mark on the ground while leading all CFL backs with 61 receptions for 513 yards.

“British Columbia has become my home and knowing that I will continue to wear these colours and play the game I love for this organization and Lions fans across the province is an amazing feeling,” said Harris.

His numbers in 2013 including top-three rankings in touchdowns, rushing yards and yards from scrimmage garnered Harris a team nomination as Most Outstanding Canadian Player for a second consecutive year.
