I believe he might be playing for Sale Sharks 'A' team the Jets in the Zurich 'A' League over in Union.

Although there could be two players called Desi Williams I guess.

Cheers Alex, I knew that when I taught him he had training and stuff at Wigan but never knew the extent of scholarship/contact he was under.
