'Obvious Choice' - Louis Rees-Zammit Explains Why He Has Signed for Bristol Bears
Louis Rees-Zammit returns to Premiership rugby after 18 months in the NFL, joining Bristol Bears as a world-class back-three player with 14 tries in 32 Wales appearances.
- On Thursday, Bristol Bears confirmed Louis Rees-Zammit's signing with immediate effect after he flew back from Florida.
- Unable to break through, the Welshman swapped rugby for the NFL 18 months ago, spending time with the Kansas City Chiefs before returning to rugby this month.
- Career records underline that Louis Rees-Zammit scored 42 tries in 77 matches for Gloucester, with Pat Lam calling him `a world-class player`.
- With national duties in mind, New Wales coach Steve Tandy said `It will also make our calls on selection a lot more challenging in terms of selection as we’ve already got some very good back-three players. Adding Zammo into that makes it even more exciting for not only us, but the fans as well`.
- Ahead of the campaign, Bristol begin their season against Sale Sharks in the Premiership Rugby Cup on September 13, with the opening Premiership match against Leicester on September 28.
