Overview

  • Louis Rees-Zammit announced on social media that he is leaving the Jacksonville Jaguars and exiting the NFL to return to professional rugby.
  • He entered American football via the International Player Pathway Program in January 2024 and spent time with the Kansas City Chiefs and Jaguars without playing in a regular-season game.
  • Before his NFL move, he scored 14 tries in 32 Tests for Wales and became Gloucester’s youngest Premiership player at 18.
  • His 32 international caps remove any selection barrier, making him immediately eligible for Wales under new head coach Steve Tandy.
  • He has yet to sign a club deal, but multiple top-tier Premiership and Top 14 sides are understood to be monitoring his availability.
