The Winnipeg Blue Bombers signed American defensive back Deatrick Nichols to a one-year contract extension Monday.

Nichols is now under contract with Winnipeg through the 2023 season.

The five-foot-nine, 188-pound Nichols had 43 tackles, three special-teams tackles, three interceptions, a sack and a fumble recovery in 12 regular-season games last year, his first with Winnipeg.

He helped the Bombers capture a second straight Grey Cup title.

Nichols was named a CFL all-star last season.
