Liverpool’s Williams seals move to Blackpool

On Jul 19, 2022

Liverpool defender Rhys Williams has joined Championship side Blackpool on a season-long loan deal.

The Premier League club stated this on Tuesday.

The 21-year-old had signed a long-term contract last summer after impressive displays in the 2020-21 season where he started their last five league games of the season, to help seal a third-place finish and an automatic Champions League spot.

Williams, who also had a spell on loan with Swansea City last season, heads to Michael Appleton’s Blackpool ahead of the start of their Championship (second-tier) campaign at home to Reading on 30 July.
