Narrative:
I was working approach combined sectors e-w with moderate traffic with atx X cleared for ILS 34 approach and descending on final. Small aircraft Y had departed runway 34 and turned sebnd. I told small aircraft Y not to turn any further west due to traffic on final. I got involved with 3 aircraft overflying northwest. When I looked back small aircraft Y had turned southwest in front of atx x--close to the same altitude. Both aircraft got each other in sight after the fact. If small aircraft Y had done what he was told, it wouldn't have happened.
