WALES wing Louis Rees-Zammit has signed a long-term deal with Bristol Bears.

- BEN JAMES Rugby Writer ben.james@walesonline.co.uk

The 24-year-old, who is also comfortable at fullback, joined the Gallagher Prem club at the start of this season after returning from the NFL, having spent the previous 18 months trying to make it in American football with the Kansas City Chiefs and Jacksonville Jaguars.

Initially, Rees-Zammit (pictured) signed a one-year deal with the Bears.

The 35-cap international was a target for rebel league R360, which had been due to begin this year.

However, the Mike Tindall-driven breakaway league has been delayed - leaving Rees-Zammit to look at other options.
