Manager Alfred Johansson says Motherwell have signed an “attack-minded and exciting defender” in Dylan Williams.<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old has joined the Fir Park side from Burton Albion for an undisclosed fee, penning a two-year deal with the club holding the option of a further year.<\/p>\n
The former Chelsea and Derby youth player is eligible for Motherwell’s Conference League second-round qualifier against Faroese outfit HB.<\/p>\n
“A humble young man, Dylan has been in first-team environments since he broke into the Derby County team at a young age,” said Johansson.<\/p>\n
“He is an incredibly mature man, and we’ve had some excellent discussions about what we want Dylan to do in our system.<\/p>\n
“He is an attack-minded and exciting defender, but most importantly, he works incredibly hard for his team-mates.”<\/p>\n
Williams, who played 31 times for League One Burton last season, added: “I’ve spoken to a number of people about Motherwell. Everyone has had positive things to say about the club.<\/p>\n
“The initial discussions with the manager were encouraging, and he’s been so clear on what he wants me to do. Key messaging and a clear desire to bring me to the club meant it was an easy decision to come here.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manager Alfred Johansson says Motherwell have signed an “attack-minded and exciting defender” in Dylan Williams.
