'Obvious Choice' - Louis Rees-Zammit Explains Why He Has Signed for Bristol Bears

On Thursday, Bristol Bears confirmed Louis Rees-Zammit's signing with immediate effect after he flew back from Florida.
Unable to break through, the Welshman swapped rugby for the NFL 18 months ago, spending time with the Kansas City Chiefs before returning to rugby this month.
Career records underline that Louis Rees-Zammit scored 42 tries in 77 matches for Gloucester, with Pat Lam calling him `a world-class player`.
With national duties in mind, New Wales coach Steve Tandy said `It will also make our calls on selection a lot more challenging in terms of selection as we’ve already got some very good back-three players. Adding Zammo into that makes it even more exciting for not only us, but the fans as well`.
Ahead of the campaign, Bristol begin their season against Sale Sharks in the Premiership Rugby Cup on September 13, with the opening Premiership match against Leicester on September 28.
