Williams was part of the All Black training squad in 2008

Sale Sharks have signed Paul Williams from Super 14 side Blues on a one-year contract with an option to extend.

The 27-year-old full-back can also play on the wing.

Williams is the son of All Blacks legend Bryan Williams and brother of Samoa international Gavin and has also played for Highlanders in Super 14.

Sharks head coach Mike Brewer said: "He is an exciting player, he'll add power to our three-quarters and fit perfectly with Matt Tait and Mark Cueto."

Williams was Canterbury's vice-captain in their successful 2008 Air New Zealand Cup campaign and was named Auckland's player of the year in 2009.
