As Williams packs his bags for the northern hemisphere, in will go all the essentials – warm clothes, football boots and a cricket bat.

Because when he's not playing footy, Williams is clearing the boundary as Monaro's No. 3 batsman.

Now Cooma's favourite son is on the cusp of a representative cricket debut with the ACT Aces.

Comprised of some of Canberra grade cricket's best Twenty20 players who are not involved with the ACT Comets, the Aces' sudden-death Regional Bash campaign gets underway against the South Coast Crew in Nowra on Sunday.

A quick look at Williams' MyCricket stats reveals a batting average of 90.86, with a high score of 253 and 40 wickets from 38 games.

He has his fingers crossed in hoping the Aces move through to the next round on November 6 where he will have the chance to earn his cap after missing the tournament opener.

Williams confessed he might need to find time for a nets session, but if he doesn't he will have a chance to get his eye in for Monaro at the Burns Cup.

"To be honest I haven't picked a bat up since last season," Williams laughed.

"You've usually got the semis and that sort of stuff at this time of the year so it makes it a little bit tough but I'll get back on Monday and start having a few games and hopefully get back into it."

Williams hopes he can squeeze in a game of cricket in England, but knows it might be tough given the rugby league season runs in the summer.

"I'll take my bat over there and I might get a game on the side somewhere in a bye week," Williams said.

"I'd always love to have a game over there in their conditions with the Duke ball and the green pitches. I'd love to be able to do it."

It means Williams could go from hulking front-rowers charging at him at Wakefield's home ground Belle Vue to having tall, lanky bowlers sending a Duke ball whizzing past his ears.

The former NSW Country player couldn't split the two, laughing that "neither of them is too enjoyable".

Wakefield-bound Williams said moving over 17,000 kilometres away from his family in Cooma was a hard decision to make, but his home town ensured cold weather won't be an issue.

"It was always a big call to go to the other side of the world," Williams said.

"The opportunity to play the sport I love on the other side of the world, you don't get those opportunities all the time so I wanted to make sure I did it before the opportunity wasn't there."

The 25-year-old refuses to write off a return to the NRL, having penned just a one-year deal with the Wildcats.
