Liam Williams makes sensational return to former club

BY Jack Tunney  ·  Tuesday Nov 26, 2024

Saracens have announced the sensational return of Liam Williams to the London club until the end of the season, having spent the last year in Japan with the Kubota Spears. 

Williams, with 91 caps for Wales will provide versatility to Saracen’s back three. Saracens fans will remember the Welsh international’s previous impact on the club, particularly during their stellar 2019-20 campaign, in which he played a key role in helping the team clinch both Champions Cup and Premiership titles.

Speaking about his return to the club, Williams said:

“The last few weeks have been a whirlwind for me in all honesty. My pregnant wife and I recently made the difficult decision not to return to Kubota Spears for a second season, a club that welcomed me so warmly 12 months ago after the World Cup. 

“One of the Sarries management contacted my agent to see if I would be interested in finishing the season with them due to injuries within the squad, and it didn’t take long to say yes!

“I thoroughly enjoyed my previous time with the club. It was a special time in both my career as well as the club winning multiple trophies, and the unique culture of the club left a mark with me.  

“I can’t wait to join the squad, following the birth of my first child, and help them achieve their goals.”

Saracens Director of Rugby Mark McCall is pleased to bring Williams back to StoneX Stadium.

“Liam had an incredible impact on our group both on and off the pitch during his first spell at Saracens. He is a world-class player who has been at the top of his game for well over a decade now.

“The opportunity to bring Liam back to the club was a no-brainer for us and we can’t wait to see him back in the Saracens shirt.”
