Jacksonville Jaguars' Louis Rees-Zammit says he's moving on from the NFL and returning to rugby, via an announcement on his Instagram account on Thursday.

Rees-Zammit has announced his return to rugby at a time when the WRU is considering cutting from four professional teams down to three or two. Money is tight and Dragons, Ospreys, Scarlets and WRU-owned Cardiff will not be able to compete with other clubs unless there is special help from a governing body that has its own financial challenges.

Louis Rees-Zammit is pulling the plug on his bid to make it in the NFL a little earlier than expected. Rees-Zammit said in June that he'd give it another year or two before returning to rugby, but the Jaguars wide receiver announced on Instagram that he's going back to his first sport.
