WINNIPEG, MB., – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has signed Canadian fullback Antonio Valvano to a two-year contract.
Valvano (6-1, 203, Western University; December 19, 1995 in St. Catharines, ON) joins the Blue Bombers this season after finishing up his collegiate career in 2021 with the Vanier Cup champion Mustangs.
