DeMarco Artis made a record number of sacks in the Maple League last season.
The Vaasa club Wasa Royals, which plays American football, signed a new contract with a defender from the United States by DeMarco Artis with.
Artis was selected to the Vaahteraliiga All-Star team last season. Now he is making a return to Vaasa.
– Last year we still had a young team, but this year we have many more players with Maple League experience. I look forward to seeing how they have developed, says Artis in the club’s press release.
Last season, Artis made a record number of 12 sacks in the Vaahteraliiga. A sack means tackling the quarterback behind the line of scrimmage.
Wasa Royals sports management has high hopes for Artis’ return, as he is a strong player. Artis was not on the club’s so-called shopping list, because they didn’t think he would return to Vaasa again.
– It’s great to have DeMarco complement our defense, pick up where we left off last season. We know what DeMarco is, what we get from him. And he knows what we expect from him, defensive coordinator Juha Ramsila says.
Wasa Royals plays in the main series of Yankee football, the Vaahteraliiga.
