“We are delighted that Joel will be staying with us in Montreal for several more years,” CF Montreal president and CEO Gabriel Gervais said. “Over the last few years, he has continued to develop and grow with us. He has established himself as a veteran and a leader in our team. We are confident that he will continue playing a key role to achieve our objectives.”

Waterman, 28, played in 25 matches (24 starts) last season.
