Shane Williams is reportedly on the verge of turning his back on retirement and playing a season in the second tier of Japanese rugby with the Mitsubishi Dynaboars.

Wales veteran Shane Williams has reportedly agreed a deal to turn his back on retirement and play a season in Japan.

The 35-year-old former Ospreys winger is expected to sign a one-year deal with the Mitsubishi Dynaboars in Division Two of the Japanese League.

Williams, who was expected to take up a different role with the Ospreys next year, announced his retirement from rugby back in February but now looks set to have a last hurrah in the Far East.

The winger notched 58 tries in 87 games for his country, including a last-gasp score in his final international appearance against Australia in December.
