Veteran kicker Paul McCallum came out of retirement to join the B.C. Lions on Tuesday.
McCallum, who officially retired in March, played 152 regular season games over 11 seasons as well as two Grey Cup appearances.
"We need to ensure that all areas of our kicking game are competitive with our opponents," said Lions GM and head coach Wally Buono. "By bringing in Paul and his playoff production, this is now assured."
McCallum was good on all 36 of his previous postseason field goal attempts for the Lions including a team-record six-for-six in the 2006 Grey Cup win by the club.
"I'm happy to return and do whatever I can to help the club win a championship," said McCallum. "I believe that Richie and I together give the team a very strong kicking combination."
In accordance with CFL rules, the club has a 10-day window to evaluate a retired player before assigning him a specific roster status.
The Lions host the Saskatchewan Roughriders in their regular season finale on Saturday.
