Williams to leave Scarlets for Saracens

Scarlets Rugby has today confirmed that fullback Liam Williams will leave the region at the end of the current season.

The 25-year-old joined the Scarlets in 2011 after a blistering season with Llanelli RFC, scoring 40 points in 26 appearances in his debut season.

Jon Daniels, Scarlets General Manager of Rugby, said; “Liam has been an asset to the region and will be missed both on and off the field...We fought hard to retain Liam but having taken everything into consideration including his personal circumstances he has decided to pursues new challenges which we respect totally.

"We wish him well for the future and look forward to seeing him in action at the Parc, in the remaining few months of the season, in what is expected to be an exciting finish to the PRO12 campaign.”

Williams will play the remainder of the season at Parc y Scarlets before moving to Saracens.
