Catalan Dragons scrum-half Sam Williams has signed a two-year contract to return to Canberra Raiders.
The 23-year-old joined the French club in June and had hoped to earn a permanent contract but the arrival of former Cronulla Sharks star Todd Carney has signalled an end to his spell at Stade Gilbert Brutus.
"Sam is a gifted playmaker who we believe will be a valuable asset for our squad," said Raiders recruitment and high-performance manager David Hamilton.
Williams said: "The Raiders are my home club with some of my best mates and a club I've always wanted to see successful so I'd love to be a part of any success we have in the future,"
Williams, who has played in nine of the Dragons' last 11 matches, will make his final appearance for the Super League club if they lose their elimination play-off at Leeds on Saturday.
Dragons are still waiting on the Rugby Football League's decision over the registration of Carney, who was de-registered by the NRL in June following a breach of discipline with Cronulla.
