In July 2010, Willis signed a new contract with Connacht Rugby and joined his new squad on their pre-season training trip on the Aran Islands.
He left Connacht after one season with the intention of retiring. However, as Eoin Reddan and Isaac Boss were both called into the Irish World Cup squad he was given a contract until October 2011 by Leinster.
