[2] During that time, he also worked with former Coquitlam Cheetahs track and field coach Percy Perry on developing his running.

[4] The Coquitlam, British Columbia native has gone through the formality of resigning from the Lions each year since he got on full-time with the PCFD in 2004 (he left the team after five games that season and did not rejoin until 2005).

[5] Anderson attended Terry Fox Secondary School in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia where he played both football and basketball.

[7][8] He played in a provincial basketball all-star game and was selected to represent British Columbia in the first football national championship tournament.

[13] As a sophomore, Anderson was initially used as a receiver after multiple players dropped out of the football team during training camp.

After placekicker Tyson O'Shea suffered a knee injury, Anderson also began kicking field goals and regularly punting for the Clan.

[14] In his first game as a placekicker, he kicked four field goals and four one-point conversions to be named Mount Rainier Columbia Football Association player of the week.

[20] Anderson continued playing basketball through his junior year before deciding to focus solely on football as a senior.

[22] In the Lions' first preseason game, Anderson had a shaky start as a placekicker, missing two of five field goal attempts.

[32] Anderson's injury prevented him from playing for the entirety of August, and he was unable to perform kickoffs even after his return to special teams.

[26][34] Anderson recorded a career-high 21 special team tackles, including five against the Montreal Alouettes in early September.

He injured his knee while playing in a preseason game against the Calgary Stampeders, preventing him from continuing in the role during the regular season.

[36][37] Although activated briefly for a game in late July, Anderson was later moved to the nine-week injured list and did not return until October.

[44] In the season opener against the Edmonton Eskimos, Anderson scored his first career receiving touchdown, following it with a single on the resulting kickoff.

[45][46] Due to a hip pointer and back injury suffered during the opener, Anderson spent multiple stints on the injured list in July and early August.

[51] He spent some time playing both receiver and kicker in late September due to injuries and a kicking slump by Kellett, respectively.

[55] In October, Anderson scored a single on a trick play as the first half ended when he caught a 30-yard reception and immediately kicked it into the endzone, where it was recovered by the Calgary Stampeders.

[1] In April 2005, Buono negotiated with the Port Coquitlam Fire Department to allow Anderson to work both jobs simultaneously.

[63] Anderson re-signed with the Lions in June, missing training camp but joining the team before the regular season started.

In the final game of the regular season, Anderson injured his ribs on the opening kickoff and was replaced by McLoughlin, who later damaged his hamstring.

[70][71] Anderson "retired" prior to the beginning of training camp in 2006 as part of a deal between the Lions and the Port Coquitlam Fire Department.
