VANCOUVER - Andrew Harris is staying put.

The B.C. Lions have signed their Canadian running back to a contract extension through the 2015 season.

The Winnipeg native is entering his fifth season with B.C. and has yet to miss a game in his CFL career.

The five-foot-11 213-pound Harris, who became the Lions' starting running back midway through the 2011 season, has rushed for 2,568 yards on 481 career carries (5.3-yard average) with 15 TDs.

Harris ran for 998 yards last season but led all CFL running backs with 61 catches for 513 yards en route to being named B.C.'s nominee as top Canadian for the second straight year.
