All-Star forward Gabby Williams signed a multi-year contract with the Golden State Valkyries on Sunday.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed by the team for Williams, who spent the past four seasons with the Seattle Storm.
'For a player of Gabby's caliber to choose us in just our second year ... means everything,' Valkyries general manager Ohemaa Nyanin said in a statement. 'She is world-class. One of the best defenders in the world, an WNBA All-Star, and someone who makes everyone around her better.'
Williams, 29, recorded career-best averages in points (11.6), assists (4.2) and steals (2.3) while playing in 44 games (all starts) last season.
Named an All-Star in 2025, she totaled 99 steals -- one shy of Teresa Weatherspoon's WNBA record set in 1998.
Williams is averaging 8.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 191 career games (135 starts) since being selected by the Chicago Sky with the fourth overall pick of the 2018 WNBA Draft out of UConn.
