Cardiff RFC are delighted to announce the signing of Great Britain 7s player Tom Williams ahead of the Super Rygbi Cymru season.
The former RGC utility back has previously played for Swansea, Wales U20s and has made 10 appearances for the Ospreys.
He’s competed at two Commonwealth games and he’s got a wealth of international sevens experience with Wales.
On the signing of Williams, head coach Dan Fish said: “Really pleased to add Tom to the squad. A very exciting player to add to an already exciting squad.
“Tom will bring a wealth of experience to the squad from his time with the Ospreys and more recently GB 7s.
“His ability to play in multi positions is a big asset to the squad and we look forward to him showcasing his skills at the Arms Park.”
The 28-year-old has represented Great Britain in recent HSBC Sevens tournaments around the world including Los Angeles, Singapore and Hong Kong.
Williams added: “Very exciting. I’ve lived in Cardiff for a while now and consider it my home, so I’m happy to be playing in Cardiff after a number of years playing 7s.
“I knew Gruff Rees from my early days at the Ospreys so we got in touch and went from there. I’ve been down the Arms Park for a few sessions now and enjoyed meeting some new faces and working with some new coaches.
“It’s been refreshing to have young quality coaches and players involved. For the first time in my career I feel old in the a squad but I can’t say too much on that with Jason Harries still knocking around,” he jokingly added.
Williams now joins Steff Davies, Ben Murphy, Ioan Penry, and Callum Donoghue-Proud as all the latest signings for the Blue and Blacks ahead of the 2025/26 season which gets underway for Dan Fish’s side in Colwyn Bay against Rygbi Gogledd Cymru (RGC) 1404 on September 13th.
“It looks to be a competitive league where a number of teams could win it. Hopefully we can go one better and win this year,” continued Williams.
“What excites me most is being able to play down the Arms Park on a Saturday, have a few beers and then be able stroll back up the road home.”
If you’re looking for a fun fact Williams concluded: “I was once a potato farmer in Scotland.”
