Williams, who still holds the try scoring record for Wales, said he’s always been an Osprey through and through.

“Everybody knows that I’m an Osprey through and through,” Williams told the Ospreys’ official website.

“I was given my chance to play professionally at Neath and then was at the Ospreys from the start of regional rugby, enjoying nine great years.

“Since retiring, through Star Multifuels, I’ve learned the importance of good business networking opportunities, which makes this new role doubly satisfying.

“Not only am I back with the Ospreys, I can also enjoy the fantastic corporate side of the business, which has always led the way.”
