"It's all god. 🙏🏻 And just like that it begins," Williams wrote on his Instagram story.
The two-time PBA champion is an additional weapon for a young Converge squad that also features Juan Gomez de Liaño, Alec Stockton, Justin Arana and Justine Baltazar.
The FiberXers also reinforced their squad with a trade for veteran Calvin Abueva from the Titan Ultra Giant Risers and young gun Jonnel Policarpio from the NLEX Road Warriors.
Williams last played for then-TNT Tropang Giga in the 2023 PBA Governors' Cup, before departing due to a contract dispute.
