Wales have recalled wing Louis Rees-Zammit for their autumn Tests, two years after he last played for his country and switched from rugby union to American football.

Despite winning contracts with the Kansas City Chiefs and Jacksonville Jaguars during an 18-month period, Rees-Zammit did not play a competitive NFL game.

The 24-year-old returned to rugby in August by signing a season-long deal at Bristol Bears, for whom he made a try-scoring debut in the Gallagher Prem.

Wales’ squad for their four matches in November also features recalls for Saracens prop Rhys Carre and Cardiff fly-half Callum Sheedy.

But Cardiff’s in-form teenage wing Tom Bowen misses out on a first call-up, while experienced Ospreys back-row Ross Moriarty is overlooked.

There are five uncapped players in the 39-man squad: Ospreys second row James Fender and back-row Morgan Morse, Dragons hooker Brodie Coghlan, Cardiff prop Danny Southworth and Bath centre Louie Hennessey.

British and Irish Lions flanker Jac Morgan returns to lead the 744-cap squad, which has an average age of 26.
