Blackpool sign defender on season-long loan from Liverpool
Blackpool have signed defender Rhys Williams on a season-long loan from Premier League side Liverpool.
The 21-year-old spent part of last season on loan at Swansea City in the Championship, making seven appearances.
Prior to that loan spell, Williams made 19 appearances in all competitions for the Reds in 2020-21.
"I think I'm aerially dominant because of my height, and I'm a vocal defender. I like to have the ball at my feet too," he told the club's website.
"I spoke to [boss Michael Appleton] before signing, and he was really complimentary and said only good things about the football club and the journey it's going on.
"I want to be a part of that, and I'm really looking forward to getting started."

Learning to read clusters is not something your eyes do naturally. It takes constant practice.
5 recognised centre halves currently at the club (Williams, Ekpiteta, Keogh, Tharme, Thorniley).
2 pthers who can cover at a pinch (Husband, Connolly).
Casey out on a season long loan at Forest Green Rovers who, I assume, could be recalled if needs must.
For a balanced squad we only need a maximum of 4 specialists. I'd expect either of, or even both, Tharme to be loaned out and / or Thorniley (even though he's the only natural left footer) sold.

So it looks like Rhys Williams is on his way back to Liverpool.
No surprise really given the Luke McNally and Aden Flint links. I thought he did okay, but there's no point taking up a loan space with someone that won't play.https://t.co/ggZMYNVkzv

Been a delight to play for @BlackpoolFC this season, hasn’t always gone our way but everytime I wore the shirt, I know we gave 100%. Thank you for welcoming me in as one of your own! Hopefully see you all soon! 🍊 pic.twitter.com/v1wRxj6rXG
