Offensive lineman Mathieu Girard came out of retirement to re-sign with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats Monday.

The 26-year-old signed a three-year deal with the club, Hamilton announced Monday.

The Ticats originally drafted Girard in the sixth round in 2014, before the Montreal native appeared in 35 regular-season games and two playoff games over two seasons with the Ticats.

Girard retired before the start of last season.
