Wales superstar Louis Rees-Zammit has issued an ominous warning and put the Gallagher PREM on notice that he has settled back into rugby at Bristol Bears and is ready for a big season.
Rees-Zammit, 25, joined the Bears last July after spending 18 months in the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs and the Jacksonville Jaguars, scoring seven tries in 13 games despite injuries and flitting between the wing and full-back.
He returned to pre-season training with the Bears earlier this week after international duty with Wales at the Nations Championship, playing in all three of Wales’ games.

He is now ready to make a statement for the Bears ahead of next year’s World Cup in Australia and come out of the blocks firing on all cylinders.
“This second season for me is quite big, and I think I’ve had a good couple of weeks of work now heading into pre-season Monday with Bristol,” he told the Western Mail.
“I know the boys have been training for a couple of months, but I’m looking forward to getting back integrated with the boys and getting back to full-on rugby sessions.
“I know how big this year is heading into a World Cup. One of the most enjoyable years to play rugby is one season heading into a World Cup, and obviously I went to the 2023 World Cup, and that was one of the best experiences of my life so far.
“But I know I’ve got to have a really good year this year, and I’m looking forward to starting it strong, and hopefully at Bristol we can do some good things this year.
“It’s about putting the good performances in, and especially for me now settling in last year into rugby, obviously being away for two years, but I think this year now it’s a real big one, and I’m feeling ready and I’m feeling prepared,” he added.
