Rees-Zammit returns to wing for new season with Wales and Bristol
Summary

Louis Rees-Zammit will play as a winger for Wales and Bristol in the upcoming season, transitioning back from a full-back role he occupied for most of last season. The 25-year-old, who had been away from rugby for nearly two years pursuing an NFL career, expressed a desire to focus on scoring tries from the wing. Last season, he started 22 games, scoring nine tries, but found it challenging to adapt to the full-back position where he completed 12 of those matches. After missing initial training with Bristol due to national team commitments, he aims to improve the team's offensive output as they prepare for the season ahead. The Bears finished sixth last season, just missing playoff qualification by nine points.
