Kamloops Broncos’ receiver Derek Yachison has been invited to start practising with the B.C. Lions on a full-time basis.
The announcement today (Sept. 30) marks the first time in Broncos’ franchise history a player has received that invitation.
Like Andrew Harris, Whitman Tomusiak and Steven Doege before him, Yachison will practise with the CFL club during the week and compete in B.C. Football Conference play on the weekend.
The Winnipeg product joins Langley Rams offensive lineman Anthony Daley as the only other active junior player practising with the Lions, although he is currently sidelined with an injury.
In his fourth season with the Broncos, Yachison has 45 catches for 756 yard and five touchdowns in nine games.
He will be in the lineup when the Broncos (6-3) play the Okanagan Sun (8-1) in Kelowna on Sunday, Oct. 5.
