Gaffney wants Williams to extend contract

MUNSTER hope to sign captain Jim Williams for another season. In the aftermath of Sunday’s Heineken Cup semi-final defeat to Wasps, it was suggested 35-year-old Williams was ready to either retire or move on to Japan.

However, coach Alan Gaffney was hopeful Williams might extend his contract for another season.

“There are some issues that complicate the situation, like how many overseas players we have in the squad, but my gut reaction is that I would like Jim to remain with the squad and the players feel the same.
