Milt Stegall has informed the Winnipeg Blue Bombers that he will be retiring and will not enter the 2009 season.

Stegall’s retirement ends an amazing 14-year career in the city.

A formal announcement from the wide receiver isn’t expected to be made until he attends a banquet in Winnipeg later this month. Reports say the 39-year-old Cincinnati native informed the club of his decision in late December, then re-iterated it again last month.

The news of Stegall’s departure comes on the heels of coach Mike Kelly’s decision to release defensive lineman Tom Canada on Friday.
