CFL: Edmonton Elks sign Global kicker Toshiki Sato
The Edmonton Elks have signed Global kicker Toshiki Sato.
A native of Yokohama, Japan, the 31 year old Sato has spent the past two seasons on the practice roster of the Calgary Stampeders. He was a second-round selection by Toronto in the 2021 Global Draft and he played one regular-season game for the Argonauts in 2021 and one pre-season contest in 2022.
After playing four years at Waseda University in Tokyo, Sato suited up for IBM Big Blue in the Japanese X-League, setting a league record in 2019 with a 58-yard field goal. He then played in the Spring League – for the Austin Generals in 2019 and for the Aviators in 2020.
