PRINCE ALBERT, Saskatchewan, Jan. 14 (UPI) -- Ex-Canadian Football League player Trevis Smith, sent to prison for having sex with women without telling them he had HIV, was granted parole Wednesday.

Smith, 32, will be released Feb. 25 and deported to the United States, Prince Albert radio station CJME reported.

The Parole Board decided Smith, who was sentenced to six years in prison after being convicted in 2007 on two counts of aggravated sexual assault because of the human immunodeficiency virus, is a manageable risk, noting he has gained insight into what he did, the radio station reported.

Smith, a native of Montgomery, Ala., was a star linebacker for the University of Alabama and spent seven years with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the CFL.

He was arrested in 2005.
