Louis Rees‑Zammit Signs Long‑Term Deal to Stay at Bristol Bears

Bristol position him at full‑back following a strong post‑NFL return.

Overview

  • Bristol confirmed the new contract on Thursday without disclosing its length or financial terms.
  • Since rejoining in the summer, the 24‑year‑old has scored six tries in eight appearances and earned a Wales recall in November.
  • Director of rugby Pat Lam says Rees‑Zammit’s NFL spell left him more physically rounded and better in contact.
  • Lam has shifted him to No 15, describing full‑back as his best position after recent outings there for the Bears.
  • The commitment quiets outside interest, including reports linking him to other clubs and the proposed R360 breakaway league.
