Louis Rees-Zammit has signed for reigning NFL Super Bowl champions Kansas City Chiefs.

The former Wales wing has made waves in the world of NFL after impressing at the International Player Pathway Program (IPPP) ‘Pro Day’.

Rees-Zammit has since visited his new side as part of a tour of numerous interested teams, including the Green Bay Packers, Cleveland Browns, New York Jets, and Denver Broncos.

The Chiefs, however, won the race to sign him.

Rees-Zammit will join a squad containing global superstars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, the latter the partner of singer-songwriter Taylor Swift.

The deal comes just days after the former Wales and Gloucester wing was announced as Roc Nation Sports’ latest big-name client on Tuesday and his new representative, Kimberley Miale, has already claimed “the sky is the limit” with regards to Rees-Zammit’s potential in the NFL.

After signing for the Chiefs, Rees-Zammit will join up with the team’s pre-season training ahead of the start of the 2024 NFL season in September.

With the Chiefs current dominance – they have won three of the last five Super Bowl titles, including the last two in a row – the former Wales and Gloucester wing will have no doubt boosted his chances of winning the coveted title.

Speaking to the BBC in February, Rees-Zammit spoke of how “in the next five years I want to be a Super Bowl champ”.

“These are very much dreams but I’m desperate for these things to happen. And I want to be an inspiration for anyone coming through the IPP, and any international player that wants to get through to the NFL.”
