The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have officially announced that defensive back Delvin Breaux is returning to the CFL club.

Hamilton's announcement comes a day after two league sources told The Canadian Press that the 2014 CFL all-star was returning to the Ticats after three seasons with the NFL's New Orleans Saints.

The six-foot-one, 196-pound cornerback played for the Ticats from 2013-14.

He appeared in 27 games with Hamilton, registering 62 total tackles, 10 pass knockdowns, three forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, one sack and one interception returned for a touchdown.

The Ticats visit Edmonton on Friday.
