Nick Williams signs new Cardiff Blues deal

Cardiff Blues have confirmed number eight Nick Williams will remain at the region next season.

Williams has become a key leader since joining Wales’ Capital Region in 2016 and brings a physical presence in both attack and defence.

He was due to come out of contract at the end of the month but following a meeting of PRB/RMB, it has been agreed that 35-year-old will stay at the Blues for one more season.

Williams has made 66 appearances during his three seasons since joining the region from Ulster, scoring 12 tries in the process.

He is the latest player to pen new terms at Wales’ Capital Region, following on from the likes of Josh Navidi, Tomos Williams, Jarrod Evans and Willis Halaholo, while Wales duo Hallam Amos and Josh Adams are also joining.
