Former rugby winger Christian Wade signs for NFL team

    Former England rugby union international Christian Wade has signed for NFL’s Buffalo Bills.

    The winger was released by Wasps in October to allow him to pursue a career in American football.

    Wade, 27, was one of four players allocated to an AFC East club as part of the league's International Player Pathway programme.

    He won one cap for England in 2013 and was called up to the British and Irish Lions squad that summer. He is also third in the all-time Premiership try-scorers list with 82.
