L’expérience américaine de Louis Rees-Zammit n’aura finalement été qu’une courte parenthèse dans la carrière du talentueux rugbyman. L’ailier gallois, star du rugby à XV, avait tenté l’aventure en NFL en rejoignant successivement les Kansas City Chiefs puis les Jacksonville Jaguars. Mais après quelques mois de découverte, il a choisi de tirer un trait sur le football américain pour revenir à son sport de prédilection.<\/p>

« On n’a pas les mêmes chances que les américains »<\/h2>

Dans un entretien accordé au Times<\/em>, Louise Rees-Zammit a expliqué les raisons de ce retour au bercail. <\/p>

\n

« J’avais l’impression de gâcher mon talent là-bas », a-t-il confié<\/a>. « Quand on n’a pas fait le système universitaire américain, on n’a tout simplement pas les mêmes opportunités que les autres. Je n’avais que très peu de répétitions à l’entraînement, et ça m’a vite lassé », a-t-il poursuivi.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>

Le rugbyman gallois a également été frappé par la dure réalité de la NFL: un univers impitoyable où les joueurs arrivent et repartent chaque jour. <\/p>

\n

« C’était brutal. Je voyais de nouveaux visages quotidiennement, des joueurs coupés en permanence. Je savais que ça faisait partie du jeu, mais c’était difficile », a-t-il reconnu.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>

L’échec de Louis Rees-Zammit<\/h2>

Malgré quelques apparitions en matchs de présaison, Louis Rees-Zammit n’a jamais eu l’occasion d’intégrer un roster actif. Et l’arrivée de la nouvelle génération de prospects issus du college football en 2025 a fini de le convaincre que son avenir ne se jouerait pas sur les pelouses de la NFL.<\/p>

À 23 ans, il a donc décidé de retrouver le rugby, où son expérience et sa vitesse exceptionnelle lui offrent un avantage certain. Pour lui, revenir à la discipline qui l’a révélé était une évidence: <\/p>

\n

« Là-bas, je partais de zéro. Ici, j’ai toutes mes bases et un vrai rôle à jouer. »<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>

Son aventure américaine aura été courte, mais elle témoigne de la difficulté pour un athlète, même talentueux, de se réinventer dans un sport aussi spécialisé que le football américain. Désormais, Louis Rees-Zammit veut tourner la page et se consacrer pleinement à relancer sa carrière internationale avec le Pays de Galles.<\/p>
