The former Wales wing was a free agent after the Jaguars opted not to sign him on a reserve\/future contract, so he was able to negotiate with any team.<\/p>\n

Rees-Zammit shocked rugby union in January 2024 when he announced he was quitting the sport to enter the NFL’s international player pathway, a 10-week crash course designed to teach and assess aspiring players.<\/p>\n

Initially signed to the Kansas City Chiefs for pre-season training, he moved on to Jacksonville last August and will now remain there for the next stage of his development.<\/p>\n

Rees-Zammit scored 14 tries for Wales in 32 games. His last appearance for the national side was in the World Cup quarter-final defeat against Argentina, the first loss in what has become a record 14 consecutive Test defeats that led to Warren Gatland’s departure during the 2025 Six Nations.<\/p>\n

Rees-Zammit has yet to feature in the NFL, but he played three pre-season games<\/a> for the Chiefs and was in New Orleans to watch his former employers miss out on a third successive Super Bowl triumph.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
