"Brad got into tennis coaching at a young age and has coached at some of the best clubs both in Australia and overseas, we consider ourselves very fortunate to have him select us as a club he wishes to be the coach at.
"You just have to look at the honour board at the club to see how much of a legend Brad has been while playing here, and we look forward to seeing what he and his team can do with our junior players especially, as well as our adult players, as the coach in the years ahead."
Williams is excited about returning to coaching as the director of coaching with the Dubbo Tennis Academy and being more heavily involved at a club he is very passionate about.
"The Paramount Tennis Club has been great to me as a player, my kids and family over the years and being the coach is something that has held appeal over a long period of time," Williams said.
"It's fortuitous timing for me that this opportunity has presented itself and I look forward to taking it with both hands, helping to grow the game of tennis through coaching in the years to come."
Both the Paramount Tennis Club and Williams thanked outgoing coaches, Matt and Finn Edwards, who have been not only highly valued coaches over the past eight years, but also became friends to many at the club and in the community.
