Rees-Zammit Returns: From the NFL Gridiron to Rugby Glory

In a surprising career twist, Louis Rees-Zammit is ending his venture in American football after an 18-month stint in the NFL to make a celebrated return to the rugby field. The former Wales winger, signed by the Super Bowl-winning Kansas City Chiefs and later the Jacksonville Jaguars, made waves initially in the NFL International Player Pathway.

After being left off the NFL 2024 season roster, Rees-Zammit announced via Instagram his decision to leave the Jaguars and return to rugby union. The Welsh ace had joined Jacksonville last August, becoming a part of their practice squad before advancing to their active roster earlier this year.

Rees-Zammit, who debuted in rugby union in 2020 and played for Wales in the recent Rugby World Cup, expressed his eagerness to reunite with his rugby roots. With 32 appearances and 14 tries for Wales under his belt, he's excited to continue his athletic journey. Rugby fans await further updates on his comeback.
