Williams was previously at Sarries between 2017 and 2019, winning a Premiership title and European Champions Cup during that time.

“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.”
Williams has won 92 caps for Wales and is likely to be welcomed back into the fold for the forthcoming Six Nations starting on 31 January.
