The 32-year-old had one year remaining on his contract
Wales rugby union full-back Liam Williams has left United Rugby Championship side Cardiff for Japanese outfit Kubota Spears.
The Welsh club had been keen to offload Williams, who was one of their highest earners.
The 32-year-old had one year remaining on his contract, but Cardiff along with the other three Welsh regions are operating in a difficult financial climate and Jarrod Evans and Dillon Lewis left the club to join Harlequins in April.
The 84-capped international says he'll continue "doing everything possible to be selected" for this year's World Cup.
