League: London Broncos sign Williams

The London Broncos have signed Melbourne's controversial forward, Danny Williams, even though they will not be able to play him until April.

Williams still has nine games to serve of an 18-match ban, imposed in Australia for what was described as one of the worst incidents of its type in recent years.

He was suspended for a blind-side punch on Wests Tigers' Mark O'Neill, but London have rescued his career with a one-year contract.
