Louis Rees-Zammit has signed a three-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, the Super Bowl champions who count Taylor Swift as their most famous fan.
The Chiefs confirmed on Friday that Rees-Zammit had completed the deal, which includes an undisclosed signing bonus and “some guaranteed money”. Guaranteed money goes to the player whether or not the team release him before the end of his contract.
Rees-Zammit, 23, is the 38th alumnus of the International Player Pathway (IPP) programme to have signed a contract with an NFL franchise. His aim is to emulate Jordan Mailata, Efe Obada, Jakob Johnson, Sammis Reyes and David Bada in making it on to an active roster, from which he could feature in the league.
