Dec 21, 2022 | 12:56 PM

The man who holds the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ all-time record for interception-return touchdowns is returning to the CFL team in 2023.

The Roughriders announced Wednesday that American defensive back Nick Marshall had signed a one-year contract extension. He could have become a free agent in February.

Marshall, a 30-year-old from Rochelle, Ga., has played in 60 regular-season games over four seasons with Saskatchewan. He has 119 career tackles and 15 interceptions, with a team-record five pick-sixes.

The 6-foot-1, 207-pounder had 24 tackles, five pass knockdowns and four interceptions in 16 games last season. His 90-yard pick-six against the Montreal Alouettes on July 2 set the club’s career record.

The CFL record for interception returns for touchdowns in a career is nine, held by Byron Parker.

Marshall joined the Roughriders in 2018 after playing collegiately at Auburn University, where he played quarterback for the Tigers.

He’s the fifth player to sign a contract extension with the Roughriders this off-season, joining defensive backs Jordan Beaulieu and Rolan Milligan, tailback Jamal Morrow and defensive tackle Charbel Dabire.

As of Wednesday morning, Saskatchewan had 27 players who could hit the free-agent market Feb. 14.
