He also extended his appreciation to his teammates and coaches who have supported him throughout the years.
Not forgetting his loyal fanbase, Rees-Zammit acknowledged the pride he felt in representing Wales on the rugby field. With an impressive 31 Test caps for Wales and even a stint with the British & Irish Lions’ 2021 tour of South Africa, Rees-Zammit has undeniably left his mark on the international rugby scene.
Gloucester Rugby, for whom Rees-Zammit played, has given their blessings to his decision. They expressed pride in his development as a player and although his departure will undoubtedly impact the team, they stand firmly behind his career switch.
This move sees Rees-Zammit following in the footsteps of several other rugby players who have previously attempted to break into the NFL through the international player pathway.
