MONTREAL – The Montreal Alouettes announced on Thursday that they have signed Global kicker Jose Maltos to a two-year contract, keeping him in Montreal through 2026.
Maltos (5’10”, 221 pounds) appeared in 14 regular season games, filling in for the injured David Côté. The Mexican kicker successfully converted 33 of his 36 field goal attempts, achieving a 91.7 percent success rate, the third-best in the CFL. He also had a streak of 20 consecutive field goals during the season.
Additionally, Maltos recorded 2880 yards on 45 kickoffs.
In 2023, he played two games with the Alouettes. The 33-year-old was initially selected by the Ottawa REDBLACKS in the 2019 CFL-LFA Draft and participated in the New Orleans Saints training camp in 2013.
“Jose went from the practice squad to a regular player in the middle of the season,” said Danny Maciocia, general manager of the Alouettes. “He delivered every time he was called upon, and he did so with unwavering consistency. Pressure seems to motivate him. He deserves all the success he’s had.”
The 2025 season will mark Maltos’ third year with the Alouettes. He began his CFL career with the REDBLACKS, playing in Ottawa during the 2019 and 2022 seasons.
