Back playing rugby following his cancer recovery, centre Johnny Williams has departed Newcastle Falcons to join Scarlets, according to the Mail Online.
The 23-year-old made an appearance with the red rose on his chest only last year, starting inside-centre for an England XV against the Barbarians.

However, with a father from north Wales, Williams also qualifies to pull on the red jersey – with that sole appearance at Twickenham not committing him to England as it was an uncapped match.
He will team up with his former London Irish coach Glenn Delaney at Scarlets, where he will replace Japan-bound Hadleigh Parkes.
Williams will follow Saracens youngster Nick Tompkins, who is set to move across the border after making his Wales debut this year.
