The 29-year-old prop or second-row forward arrives at Leigh having progressed through the London Broncos’ academy system before establishing himself in the professional game with London Skolars and the Broncos.

Williams spent three seasons with the Skolars, making 38 appearances and scoring 12 tries, before joining the London Broncos’ first team ahead of the 2020 season.

He was part of the Broncos side that secured a memorable victory over Toulouse Olympique in the 2023 Million Pound Game, earning promotion to Super League and featuring for the Broncos during the 2024 Super League season.

Following brief spells with Widnes Vikings and Featherstone Rovers in the Championship, Williams joined Wakefield Trinity during 2025, bringing him back into a Super League environment.

Williams is looking forward to beginning the next chapter of his career at Leigh Sports Village, having watched the club’s progression in recent years.

He said: “I’m really excited to be joining Leigh.

They have been on a huge journey over the last five years, and I’m grateful to be a part of the club going forward.

The atmosphere at Leigh Sports Village is one of the best in Super League.

The fans play a huge part in that, alongside all of the great work Derek has done bringing the club and game day to a new level.

I respect and admire Adrian Lam as a coach and I am looking forward to working alongside him for the next chapter in my career.”

Head Coach Adrian Lam is looking forward to working with Williams and believes the forward has significant potential to develop further at Leigh.

Lam said: “Jordan is a player I’ve had my eye on for a couple of years now, and someone I believe has plenty of potential.

He has good size, is athletic and brings a strong carry and offload, which will add valuable qualities to our forward pack.

He’s hard-working, committed and puts the team first, and those are important attributes in the environment we’re building here at Leigh.

I’m looking forward to working with Jordan and feel strongly that he can continue to develop and mature as a player within our environment.

We’re delighted to have him on board and I’m excited to see what he can bring to the team.”

Director of Rugby Andrew Henderson believes Williams will be an excellent addition to the Leopards’ squad, having tracked the forward for some time.

Henderson said: “Jordan is exactly the type of player we want at Leigh.

He’s honest, hard-working, team-first and understands what it takes to perform at Super League level.

His attitude and professionalism stood out to us throughout our discussions, and we’re confident he will be a great fit for our culture both on and off the field.

He is a player we’ve tracked for some time and someone we believe is an excellent fit for the direction we’re taking as a club.

He will strengthen our middle unit, bring healthy competition within the squad and add valuable experience to the group.

Throughout the process, his ambition, professionalism and desire to be part of what we’re building at Leigh really stood out.

We believe he will thrive in our environment and become a valuable member of the group.

We’re delighted to welcome Jordan and his family to Leigh and we look forward to seeing the impact he will make both on and off the field during his time with us.”
