Williams' Career in Jeopardy

talkSPORT Football reports that Brandon Williams has been training with Rotherham in pre-season, but it's unclear if he'll be offered a contract. The 25-year-old has not played since August 2025, when he made a solitary appearance for Hull City in the Championship.

Off-Field Issues

Williams has been dealing with off-field issues, including a 14-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, for dangerous driving after causing a crash while speeding at 99mph in a 70mph zone. He was also ordered to complete 180 hours of community service and banned from driving for three years.

Contract and Club Context

Williams was released by Manchester United at the end of his contract in the summer of 2024, bringing an end to his 16-year association with the club. He made 51 appearances for United in total. Rotherham, meanwhile, are managed by Alex Bruce, son of Man United legend Steve, and Steve McClaren is their director of football.

Conclusion

Williams is determined to revive his career, saying: "I know it's not going to be a quick process, I know I'm not going to be in the Premier League next year. I'm ready to climb the mountain and get back to the top of it." Only time will tell if he'll be able to achieve his goal.
