NSW winger David Williams will make his first appearance in almost a year on Friday in Manly's opening trial match of the season against Cronulla at Brookvale Oval.

Williams underwent a shoulder reconstruction just before the start of the 2010 campaign, that ruled him for the entire year.

Sea Eagles coach Des Hasler has named two sides to start each half against the Sharks, but Williams and Liam Foran, brother of five-eighth Kieran Foran, are the only two players who will start in both.

Fullback Brett Stewart, who also missed most of last season with a knee injury, won't play as he continues his rehabilitation.
