Gloucester’s attack has been transformed this season under Lightfoot Brown, who joined the club in 2023. A scintillating victory against Bristol on Saturday saw them move back into the Premiership top four.
Williams tops the Premiership stats, provided by Oval Insights, for the most passes in the league this season (762), while he is second overall for most metres kicked (3,858), and third for most line breaks (20) and most offloads (18).
Against the Bears he provided two try assists including a moment of brilliant skill to jump and collect a ball one-handed, before a no-look pass to Seb Atkinson to score.
“[He’s] a very committed individual. He’ll be the last one out here practicing his kicking, practicing the bits you see at the weekend,” Lightfoot Brown said.
“You bring a world-class player into your environment and I think you’re going to reap the benefits of that, everyone is.
“Young players, players in the same position, they’re all improving without question.”
