Cubs get El-Masri

The Courts Young Lions have announced they have captured their first foreign and only foreign signing of the season.

And it is Canadian Sherif El-Masri, who was one of their players last term.

"It looked as though last year was going to be my final year," he said. "But... one more year I guess!

"I was always in their plans but I guess they just took awhile to contact me. I was about to go somewhere else but then they actually called me back last week, so I just came in today [Monday] at five in the evening and straight to training.

"It was all of a sudden but I was okay with it so I just said 'why not?'"

The 23-year-old is under the radar of the FAS for the FTS.
