Neco Williams

Zoom! When you have such incredible speed at the disposal of your feet it makes little sense to have to rely on wheels to get around!

Born in Wrexham, Wales on April 13th 2001, Willy moved to England to join Liverpool FC's youth academy at the age of six. The Welshman progressed through the ranks, representing The Reds at U18, U19, and U23 levels, as well as in the UEFA Youth League. His hard work and persistence paid off when on 30 October, 2019, head coach Jurgen Klopp handed him his debut for the first team. The teenager started in an EFL Cup tie against Arsenal which boiled over to a 10 goal slobber knocker split 5-each, the Welshman provided the assist for a last minute equalizer in normal time before Liverpool would progress after a penalty shootout win. On June 24, 2020, with the championship all but secured, Williams was give his Premier League debut as Liverpool romped Crystal Palace 4-0. The Welsh defender ended the 2019/20 campaign with winners medal for the FIFA Club World Cup and the elusive Premier League title. On the international stage he was called up to represent Wales in the summer of 2020; he made his debut in a 1-0 win over Finland in a UEFA Nations League fixture. Shortly thereafter he opened his account for his country with a goal against Bulgaria in the same competition. Neco has been capped 20 times by Wales. Limited opportunities at Liverpool saw the young man move to EFL Championship club Fulham on loan during the 2021/22 campaign. He played an important role as The Cottagers topped the table to gain promotion the Premier League. This prompted newly promoted club Nottingham Forest to shell out £17,000,000 to secure the defender's signature in the summer of 2022.
