The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have extended the contracts of senior directors of personnel and co-managers of football operations Drew Allemang and Shawn Burke.

The deals come two days after the Ticats extended the contract of head coach Orlondo Steinauer.

Allemang has been part of the Ticats' front office for 12 seasons. The Hamilton native has been assistant general manager, director of Canadian scouting, co-ordinator of Canadian player development and co-ordinator of football operations.

Burke, a native of Guelph, Ont., has served as assistant GM, director of football operations, director of football administration and director of community relations and communications.

“Drew and Shawn are two very bright and diligent football executives who both have a superb work ethic,” Ticats chief executive officer Scott Mitchell said in a statement. “They are also just great people who have spent their entire careers in the Tiger-Cat organization and have excelled in every role they have been in."
