Louis Rees-Zammit has put an end to rumours of a return to rugby union by signing a new contract with NFL side, Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Welsh flyer was released by Kansas City Chiefs earlier this week after missing out on the 53-man squad for the 2024/25 NFL season.

Instead, Rees-Zammit has been selected to be a part of the Jaguars practice squad, allowing him to earn around £170,000 while he builds up his skills during the season.

Despite not being included in the Jaguar’s 53-man squad, the 23-year-old will have the opportunity to play a maximum of three games in the NFL – should any first-team players pull up with injury.

In this episode of Walk the Talk, Jim Hamilton chats with double World Cup winner Damian de Allende about all things Springbok rugby, including RWC2023 and the upcoming Ireland series. Watch now for free on RugbyPass TV
