Wade, a standout figure in the rugby world, dared to venture into the realm of the NFL. Departing his former Premiership stronghold at Wasps in late 2018, he sought to carve a new path in American Football. Following in the footsteps of Rees Zammit, Wade embraced the NFL’s International Player Pathway program.

The illustrious ex-England winger, occupying the prestigious fourth position in the Premiership’s all-time try-scoring chart, displayed promise from the outset. In a pre-season clash against the Indianapolis Colts in New York in 2019, Wade etched his mark with a spectacular 70-meter touchdown for the Buffalo Bills.

Despite this remarkable feat, Wade found himself excluded from the Buffalo Bills’ active roster, prompting his return to rugby’s embrace in late 2022. Racing 92 welcomed the prodigious talent to the Top 14 fold.

In a recent showdown against Cardiff Blues, the diminutive maestro showcased his skill by effortlessly outmaneuvering Welsh prospect Mason Grady. Witness the mesmerizing footage below:
