Wales full-back Liam Williams has rejoined Saracens after leaving Japan’s Kubota Spears, the English Premiership club announced on Tuesday.

The 33-year-old, who moved to Kubota from Cardiff last year, said he wanted to be near family as he and his wife were expecting their first child.

Williams, who has won 92 caps for Wales and has represented the British and Irish Lions, joins Saracens until the end of the season.

He first joined the London club from Welsh regional side Scarlets in 2017, winning the European Champions Cup and Premiership during his spell there.

Williams said the past few weeks had been a “whirlwind”.

“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,” he said.

Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall said: “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.”
