Rees-Zammit Eyes R360 League After NFL Return

Louis Rees-Zammit, the 24-year-old Welsh rugby star, has ended his 18-month NFL pursuit and announced his return to rugby union. Although he spent time with the Kansas City Chiefs and Jacksonville Jaguars, he never played in a regular-season NFL game, partly due to injuries and the challenges of adapting. Rees-Zammit plans to sign with a new club in the coming weeks and is expected to first secure a one-year deal before likely joining the proposed R360 breakaway league, which seeks to attract top players with lucrative offers and a global franchise model. His return is considered a major boost for Welsh rugby, as he remains eligible for international selection with 32 Wales caps and 14 tries. The decision has sparked widespread interest from clubs, with negotiations ongoing and an announcement on his next team expected soon.
