The winger announced in January he was quitting rugby to chase his American football dream. In a video posted by the club on its X homepage, he said: 'Hi Chiefs Kingdom, Louis Rees-Zammit here. 'Just signed, can't wait to go and see you all at Arrowhead.' Rees-Zammit had made 31 appearances for his country and scored 70 points.
He visited several NFL franchises, including the New York Jets, Cleveland Browns and Denver Broncos, but has settled on the Chiefs, who have won the last two Super Bowl titles and three of the last five, inspired by star quarterback Patrick Mahomes. His dream moved a step closer when he impressed during last week's pro day that forms part of the international player pathway. Rees-Zammit clocked 4.43 seconds in his 40-yard dash, a 9ft 7in broad jump and 29-inch vertical jump.
