The Columbus Blue Jackets officially signed forward Josh Anderson to a three-year contract Tuesday, the team announced.

It was reported that Anderson ended his summer-long holdout Monday night.

Per Blue Jackets policy, terms were not disclosed, but Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports the pact is worth $5.55 million over three seasons.

"Josh was an important contributor on our team a year ago and we believe he will continue to be an important part of our team in the years to come," said general manager Jarmo Kekalainen. "He brings size, speed, and grit to our lineup, and as a young player, is still growing and developing with his best years still to come."

The 23-year-old Anderson registered a career-high 17 goals in 2016-17.
