Daniel "Danny" Williams (born 26 September 1986) is a rugby league player who plays for Bradford Bulls in the Championship

Williams played for Leeds and spent 2007 on loan at Castleford and, due to injuries to first choice wingers Gareth Raynor and Matt Sing, has moved to Hull for the start of 2008's Super League XIII.[1][2]
