“He is a player that has played on the very highest international stage, we’ve been in contact with Jonny for weeks and monitoring his situation. Ben (Garner) has a relationship with that spans over 15 years.
“He really fits into our style of play with his energy, ball manipulation and all-round ability to change games.
“Speaking to him and his partner over the last few days has been a pleasure, they are very humble and very much the type of people we as a football club should be honoured to have.
“We wish Jonny every success with us as we continue to plan and build for the future of this Football Club.”
Williams will add international experience to Ben Garner’s side as they look to regain promotion to League One at the first attempt.
The 27-year-old has won 28 caps for Wales, and was a part of the squad for this summers Euro 2020 championships.
