Liverpool have confirmed that a central defender who debuted under Jurgen Klopp will leave the club when his contract expires this summer.
Rhys Williams made 19 appearances for the first team, all during the 2020-21 season, when the Reds finished third to qualify for the following campaign’s Champions League group stages. He has since spent several seasons out on loan and is now 25 years old.
Williams has said on social media: “From signing as a nine-year-old boy, to leaving as a 25-year-old man. This club has let me fulfil things that dreams are made of.
“It’s been an honour to wear this shirt, rub shoulders with legends and play for the greatest set of fans in the world. Thank you to all the players, staff and everyone who’s had a part to play along the way.
“I will be forever grateful to have represented this club. Thank you, Liverpool. YNWA.”
Conor Bradley commented on Instagram, saying: “All the best,” adding a clapping hands emoji. Curtis Jones also did so with a red heart emoji.
