Wales star Liam Williams is training with Cardiff Rugby after his departure from Saracens.<\/p>\n
The 34-year-old has been left without a contract since leaving the former English champions, but wants to continue his professional career. Williams has undergone pre-season training with Cardiff<\/a> but WalesOnline understands he will not be signing for the Welsh club.<\/p>\n Instead he intends to use Cardiff’s pre-season training block to prove his fitness to any potential suitor while he recently said he still has plenty to offer.<\/a><\/p>\n Williams previously spend a season at Cardiff before taking a contract with wealthy Japanese outfit Kubota Spears while he has also represented the Scarlets<\/a> and Saracens.
