The Pittsburgh Steelers have extended the contract of kicker Shaun Suisham.
Financial details of the four-year extension were not disclosed.
The Wallaceburg native will now be wearing the black and yellow of the Steelers until at least the 2018 season.
Suisham ranks first in Steelers history with an 87.2 field goal conversion percentage and fifth in field goals made 95.
Since re-joining the Steelers in 2010, Suisham has made 95-of-109 field goals and each of his 128 point after tries for 412 points.
The WDSS graduate helped lead the Tartans to the 1999 Kent Senior Football Championship, before heading to Bowling Green University in Ohio and his subsequent 10-year career in the National Football League.
Awesome news! Congrats, Shaun!
