Veteran forward Dameion Baker, who suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon on May 17, 2009, in the championship game at Ariake Colosseum, while playing for the Tokyo Apache and hasn't played a pro game since then, will join the Saitama Broncos in the coming days, a source familiar with the deal told The Japan Times.
Baker will reunite with former Tokyo teammate John "Helicopter" Humphrey on the Broncos.
Humphrey encouraged the Saitama front office to sign the 34-year-old Baker, according to the source.
