Calgary Stampeders general manager John Hufnagel is pleased to announce the re-signing of international defensive lineman Frank Beltre. He was set to become a free agent in February. As per team policy, terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

The Towson University product has played two seasons with the Red and White and appeared in 17 regular-season games and four post-season contests including the Stamps’ 2014 Grey Cup victory.

In 2015, Beltre played 10 regular-season contests — including three starts — and recorded five tackles and two special-teams tackles. The Dominican Republic-born, New Jersey-raised defensive lineman played both of Calgary’s playoff games and recorded four tackles and one sack.

“During his first two seasons with us, Frank has been a valuable contributor both on defence and on special teams,” said Hufnagel. “I look forward to seeing his continued development in 2016.”

Beltre attended training camp with the National Football League’s San Diego Chargers in 2013 and joined the Stamps in 2014. He has 13 career tackles and five special-teams tackles.

“I love playing football and I’m so thankful that the Stampeders have given me the opportunity to do that,” said Beltre.
