Danny Williams is a rugby league player who plays for Bradford Bulls in the RFL Championship

Williams played for Leeds and spent 2007 on loan at Castleford and, due to injuries to first choice wingers Gareth Raynor and Matt Sing, has moved to Hull for the start of 2008's Super League XIII.[1][2]

After returning from loan to Hull (back to Leeds), it was announced that Williams was switching codes, to join Guinness Premiership side, Newcastle Falcons, in time for the start of their 2008/09 campaign. On 11 January he scored a try for the Falcons in their shock win against Gloucester.

On 7 June 2011, Williams took a route back into rugby league by agreeing a one-month trial period with Super League club Hull Kingston Rovers[3]
