Williams signs first pro deal

We are delighted to announce that Jaden Williams has signed his first professional contract with the Club.

Forward Jaden has been with us since the age of six and has maintained a good goalscoring record throughout the year groups.

The 2022/23 season saw him register 12 goals in 22 appearances for our Under-18s, including a memorable hat-trick away at Liverpool in our first game en route to lifting the Under-18 Premier League Cup, while netting twice in six Under-19 UEFA Youth League appearances.

He also stepped up to play 10 times in all competitions for our Under-21s, scoring his first goal at that level against Wolverhampton Wanderers last October.
