by The former wing player of Wales, Louis Rees-Zammit, said that after his decision to return to Rugby Union, he had “incredible” interest from clubs.
The 24-year-old Rees-Zammit spent 18 months in the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs and Jacksonville Jaguars.

The former Gloucester Wing, who took 32 appearances for Wales and toured the British & Irish Lions in 2021, said he hoped to resume his international career.
Rees-Zammit said to Sky Sports News: “I can’t name teams, but I had a load of interest, which is incredible. I am very grateful for that.
“The season starts pretty soon. So it is about finding the right team for me in relation to the place, which has to get to the camp quickly, and because the season is directly around the corner, all of these things that happen will happen quite sharply.
“I and my brother go through negotiations and see teams that is amazing. We should find out in the next week or something.”

Rees-Zammit left the Rugby Union in January 2024 to play his dream of playing his international player pathway program in the NFL.
For the 2025 season, he signed an active squad contract with the Jacksonville Jaguar after being part of their training team for the previous campaign and traveled to London for the games against Chicago Bears and New England in October.

After his decision to return to the 15-man game, Rees-Zammit aimed a return for Wales, which he helped in 2021 to her last six nations.
He added: “Playing for my country is the highlight and it is one that I absolutely love.

“I managed to play 32 times for my country in three or four years. I have to find a team. As soon as we find a team, come into a good form and hopefully come to the autumn of the autumn, see where the selection is.
“It’s something that I am really looking forward to and I really want to play for my country again.”
Rees-Zammit’s ambitions will be a welcome thrust for the recently appointed head coach of Wales, Steve Tandy, a welcome thrust that takes over a team that only ended an 18-match defeat that lasted almost two years with a highly competitive victory against Japan last month.
