National kicker Luca Congi signed a one-day contract to retire with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, the team announced Monday.

Congi spent six of his eight years in the CFL with the Roughriders after he was selected by the team in the second round of the 2006 CFL Draft. Congi connected on 79 percent of his field goals in 87 games with Saskatchewan. As a punter he produced a 38-yard average.

"I am very honoured to be able to retire today as a Roughrider," stated Congi. "I have a lot of great memories of my time in Saskatchewan. The support received from the fans in Rider Nation is special and I will never forget it."

Congi played the final two years of his career with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
