The Calgary Stampeders have signed national offensive lineman Dan Federkeil.

The 33-year-old Medicine Hat native has spent the past four seasons with the Stamps, making a total of 42 starts at right tackle. He has also played in three playoff games and two Grey Cups with the Red and White and was a member of the Stamps’ 2014 championship team.

“Once we were comfortable with Dan’s health situation, we were happy to welcome him back,” said Stampeders head coach Dave Dickenson. “He’s a very good football player who will continue to help us win lots of football games.”

Federkeil is medically cleared to play after undergoing shoulder surgery at the conclusion of the 2016 season.

Federkeil previously played four seasons with the National Football League’s Indianapolis Colts and is part of a select group of players with both Grey Cup and Super Bowl rings. He played five seasons with the Dinos and in 2005 was a finalist for the J.P. Metras Trophy as the top lineman in Canadian university football. Federkeil was a second-team Canadian university all-star in both 2003 and 2005.

“I wanted to take a step back and evaluate things after my shoulder surgery at the end of last season but now that I’m healthy and ready to go, I’m looking forward to starting the season,” said Federkeil.
