WHAT HAPPENED?
Williams has signed for Morecambe on loan until January, bolstering the Shrimps' defensive options after a difficult start to the season. Derek Adams' side have lost their opening two games in League Two and will hope the centre-back can help shore up the defence.
THE BIGGER PICTURE

Williams' career has stalled since a breakthrough 2020-21 campaign that saw him feature 19 times for Liverpool's senior side under Jurgen Klopp. Loan spells with Swansea City, Blackpool, Aberdeen and Port Vale have followed, but the 23-year-old has managed just 26 appearances since joining the Swans in 2021. His most recent loan spell, in 2023-24 with Vale, lasted only a matter of weeks before he returned to Liverpool due to an injury.
WHAT WILLIAMS SAID
Williams said: "I'm delighted, the manager has given me a chance to come and play football here and that's the main thing. I want him to be able to trust me, I want to come in and impress the fans so hopefully we have a successful season. After speaking to the manager, I always wanted to go and play for him. I spoke to a few of the boys and they were all really complimentary about the club, the staff and fans, so there was only one place I wanted to go. I'm ready to go, the boys seem ready. I know it's early on but, for me, things will change; I can see a good group, a group which works for each other and that's the main thing - as long as you've got the spirit, you'll always get through tough times."
