“He’s delighted to be here. If he can play to his ability, then he’ll rip it up.”
The former Crystal Palace man made 66 appearances for the Addicks and scored two goals.
He was one of the leading Championship players for assists at the start of last season before injury took him out of the side.
Williams earned a recall to the international fold while on Charlton’s books.
