REPORT: Louis Rees-Zammit could be ready to QUIT rugby forever

Louis Rees-Zammit, the 21-year-old Wales international and youngest Lions tourist since 1959, has caught the attention of NFL scouts.

Rees-Zammit has been scoring tries for fun ever since he was in the Gloucester Rugby Academy. The Welshman is the youngest Gloucester Rugby player to play in the Premiership and was just 18 years and 70 days when he made his debut in that competition against Bath at Kingsholm.

His pace and innate try scoring ability saw him represent Wales at U18 level before being called up to Wayne Pivac’s squad where he scored a try in his first start for his country.

Rees-Zammit is arguably one of the most threatening attackers in the game and is able to score from anywhere on the field and each time he steps up a level, his game seems to rise to that standard.

According to The Rugby Paper,he is currently under contract at Kingsholm until the end of next season, and the scouts are considering him as a potential recruit for American Football.

Christian Wade, who made a successful switch from rugby to the NFL, is an example of what Rees-Zammit could achieve if he decides to pursue a career in the sport.
