REGINA - Paul McCallum will be back for a 23rd season after all.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders announced Wednesday that they have signed the veteran kicker after he was released by the B.C. Lions during training camp.

The 45-year-old Vancouver native made 38 of 42 field goal attempts for a league high 90.5 per cent completion rate in 18 regular season games with the Lions. He was named a 2014 West Division all-star.

McCallum said onTwitter that the Lions asked him to retire in training camp as 23-year-olds Richie Leone and Anthony Fera competed for the job in training camp. McCallum asked for his release instead.

McCallum has the second most points in CFL history (3,022), behind former Lions kicker Lui Passaglia. He also has played in the sixth most games in league history.

This will be the two-time Grey Cup champion's second tour of duty with Saskatchewan. He previously played with the Riders for 12 seasons (1994-2005).

Earleir, the Roughriders have brought back quarterback Tino Sunseri to back up Kevin Glenn.

The Roughriders announced Wednesday that Sunseri has agreed to terms on a contract.

Glenn was thrust into the starter's role when Darian Durant was lost for the season with a torn Achilles tendon suffered in Saskatchewan's season opener.

Sunseri started four games last year when Durant went down with a season-ending elbow injury midway through the season.

Overall, Sunseri completed 73 of 123 pass attempts last season for 973 yards, six touchdowns and three interceptions.
