Gensyn med Ryan Williams

Den australske fløj returnerer til Pompey efter 7 år.


NYHETER: Ryan Williams var et produkt af vores eget akademi, men i en turbulent tid for klubben blev det bare til seks kampe i den blå-hvide trøje for teenageren. Den 1. juli og to år frem er han tilbage på Fratton Park efter kontraktudløb hos Rotherham United.

Williams kan spille på begge fløje og kan således aflaste både Ronan Curtis og Jamal Lowe, samt øge konkurrencen på de to pladser naturligvis, hvilket der set i bakspejlet var brug for i sidste sæson.

Australieren ser frem til at tørne ud for klubben igen og være en del af klubbens optur efter for en kort stund at have været en del af dens deroute efter nedrykningen fra Premier League:

“This is where I started after first coming over to England, but the club I left is completely different to the one I’m joining now. They were on their way down, but the reason I’m here today is because of the ambition to go back up. I want to be a part of that. I felt sorry for the players who were my friends and also the supporters, who give such loyal support, but weren’t getting a lot back. It was a real shame. But it’s in a much better position now. They obviously just missed out on promotion last season and it’s exciting to try to help get the club back to where it was. This is a great place to live and an awesome club with history, while the fans are amazing – it’s perfect. I’ve still got my best years ahead of me and hopefully I can give them to Pompey. First and foremost, we’ve got to try to get back to the Championship.”
