Williams is now a fifth-year flanker for the Utah Warriors with nine career tries to date. In 2019 he was selected for the Second Team All-MLR.
Major League Rugby is honoring the first 50 players to reach 50 caps, and their role in building the legacy of MLR. The latest of the first eight players to reach 50 caps for MLR includes Holden Yungert of the New England Free Jacks, Nick Boyer of the Houston SaberCats and Moni Tongauiha and JP du Plessis of NOLA Gold.
Stay tuned for more announcements as players reach the 50 caps milestone, and cement their spot in Major League Rugby’s history.
