Exciting times for Louis Rees-Zammit as he gears up for a new chapter with the Bristol Bears! 🎉 Coach Pat Lam hints that the Welsh speedster could be making a switch from his usual wing position to full-back at some point this season. Although Rees-Zammit has limited experience in the No.15 jersey, having only donned it seven times in his career, he’s proving to be a versatile option for the Bears.
Back from his brief stint in the NFL, Rees-Zammit is already showing glimpses of his former brilliance and aiming to be a key player for Bristol. With their established full-backs recovering from injuries, there’s an opening for the Welsh international to make his mark. Tom Jordan, who’s impressed since his arrival, might see some shifts across the backline, creating opportunities for Rees-Zammit to shine in a new role.
Rees-Zammit made quite the splash last weekend against his former club, and he’s set to make his league debut for the season against Leicester Tigers this Sunday. Coach Lam is full of praise for the 32-cap international, noting his continuous improvement since returning to rugby. “He’s getting better and better every day,” Lam said. “The way he plays complements our style perfectly.”
Despite facing some boos from the Gloucester fans, Rees-Zammit told The Rugby Pod about his “amazing night” back on the field. It’s only the beginning as he shakes off any lingering rust and aims to hit top form for the Bears. Keep an eye out for this talent – Rees-Zammit is sure to bring thrills and spills to every match! 🏉🔥
