Earlier than shifting to the USA final yr Rees-Zammit had been linked with a switch to a club in France’s Top 14.
The winger – who scored 42 tries in his 77 video games for Gloucester and 14 tries in 32 Checks with Wales – was broadly thought to be one of many standout attacking threats in European rugby.
Lam says Rees-Zammit had quite a few proposals for his return, some which have been extra profitable than what he was being supplied at Ashton Gate.
“What I actually loved about the entire thing is that he may have gone anyplace for plenty of cash,” Lam mentioned.
“I do know there was large cash on the market and I would say our provide is nowhere close to what individuals would possibly suppose it’s.
“What I appreciated about that’s that left it purely on him to resolve if he needed cash.
“He in all probability had 4 or 5 different provides that he may take.
“However he needed a superb rugby programme and a method of rugby that will get him again into the sport and offers him the very best probability to play for Wales once more, which is vital to him… that was the primary factor.”
