Williams made 35 appearances for Oxford last season, scoring twice, as the club finished eighth in the table, having previously played for Barnsley and Rotherham, and Gillingham on loan.

"I have loved my time in English football, particularly with Oxford where the gaffer, the players and the fans have been incredible," he told the club website., external

"It's a very special football club and that made my decision really difficult, but this is an unbelievable chance for me and my family and I am really looking forward to a new challenge."
