🏉 Exciting news from the rugby world! Louis Rees-Zammit is making his much-anticipated return to rugby union, signing with Bristol Bears after his ambitious venture into American football! 🇺🇸🏈
The Welsh winger, known for his electrifying pace on the field, had been exploring the NFL with stints at Kansas City Chiefs and Jacksonville Jaguars. During his time Stateside, Rees-Zammit bulked up to 105 kilos, but that didn’t slow him down a bit! He clocked an impressive 23mph despite the gain.
Now, at 24, he’s back where he feels at home, ready to light up the rugby field again in the iconic Wales jersey. Rees-Zammit aims to fit back into his agile rugby form, targeting a playing weight of 96-98 kilos.
He candidly shared, “My weight never affected my speed. Playing rugby again, I’m working on getting that perfect balance back – and it’s exciting!”
With his combination of power and speed, not to mention his experience from the NFL, Rees-Zammit is poised to bring a new edge to the game. As he gears up to take the field with the Bears and eyeing a comeback for Wales this November, we can’t wait to see what he brings to the game next! 🏴
Stay tuned for what’s sure to be an exhilarating chapter in Rees-Zammit’s career! 🙌 #Rugby #LouisReesZammit #BristolBears #WalesRugby
