sevendayweekender – Hull City has signed former Manchester United full-back Brandon Williams on a one-year contract with an option to extend for another year.

Williams’s absence from the sport followed legal troubles, including a suspended jail sentence for dangerous driving.

Williams spent the pre-season training with Hull City, impressing head coach Sergej Jakirovic during friendly matches against Sunderland and Getafe. The club has now offered him a chance to return to professional football. Jakirovic believes Williams has the potential to contribute but recognizes it will take time for him to regain full match fitness.
In a statement to Hull City’s official website, Williams described his return as a challenging but positive experience. “It feels good to be back in the team environment and back on the pitch,” he said. “Everyone has been very welcoming. It’s been a good few weeks but I’m just happy I’m here now and can focus on the football.”
Williams acknowledged that his journey back to professional sport will be gradual. “I had a couple of very honest meetings with the manager. We know it’s going to be a process to get fully back up to speed, having that time out. It had been 20 months since I played or was involved with a team.”
Williams Reflects on Personal Growth and Future Ambitions
Williams opened up about the difficulties he faced during his extended time away from football, both mentally and physically. He admitted that the break was tough but also necessary for his personal growth. “It was very difficult taking a break from football – mentally and physically. It’s been a long road back, but probably something I needed. Now, I’m back here a different person,” Williams said.
The full-back expressed renewed focus and determination to re-establish himself in the professional game. “I’ve grown up a lot and I’m ready to just focus on the football. I’ve missed it. I’m hungry, I’m fiery. I know what quality I can bring to the team.”

Hull City fans can expect to see a player eager to demonstrate his skills and maturity as he works to secure regular playing time and contribute to the club’s success in the coming seasons.
