Overview
- Williams will depart Liverpool when his contract expires at the end of June after a 15-year association with the club.
- He is on trial with New York Red Bulls and has been visible in first-team training sessions at the club’s Morristown facility.
- Red Bulls head coach Michael Bradley said Williams has made a positive impression and that the club will discuss options with him and his agent.
- No contract offer has been announced and New York must complete evaluations during the short MLS World Cup break before play resumes in mid-July.
- Williams is a Liverpool academy product who made 19 senior appearances in 2020–21 and spent several seasons on loan, and the trial gives him a chance to restart his career while the Red Bulls search for defensive reinforcements after conceding 32 goals in 15 matches.
