Broncos secure Williams
WEDNESDAY - 15th December 2004
London Broncos have announced the signing of Melbourne Storm forward Danny Williams on a one year deal.
The rugged back rower, who has over 200 top flight games to his name, including an appearance in an NRL Grand Final, is still awaiting some detail from the Australian authorities relating to a current suspension he is serving, but regardless of that , he is now tied to the London club.
Williams is currently serving an 18 match suspension following an incident in a round nineteen NRL game against Wests Tigers, and he has nine games of that sentence yet to serve.
Commenting in the signing, Broncos Head Coach Tony Rea believes the club will benefit significantly:
"Danny is an uncompromising character and will hopefully bring great spirit and knowledge to our team", said Rea.
"I see him playing a very important role for us not just on the pitch but in preparation and training as well."
Williams was recognised as an outstanding junior player on the NSW Central Coast with Woy Woy and went on to play for the Australian Schoolboys in 1991. He made first grade debut as an interchange player for North Sydney Bears in 1992, and was also a North Sydney teammate of Tony Rea.
He was also to become one of Melbourne Storms longest serving players, having played his 100th first grade game for the Storm in the 1999 Grand Final victory over St George Illawarra Dragons.
