BRANDON WILLIAMS is attracting transfer interest from both the Championship and abroad, according to reports.
The former Manchester United full-back, 24, is on the lookout for a new club after avoiding jail earlier this year.
Williams has not had a club since being released by the Red Devils at the end of the 2023-24 season.
The ex-England youth international has recently been on trial with Championship club Hull, appearing from the bench in friendlies against Getafe and Sunderland.
Williams has impressed during his short spell on Humberside and is expected to be offered a contract.
According to the Mail, the Tigers face competition for Williams’ signature.
They claim that the defender’s attitude in particular has attracted interest from other Championship clubs and from teams overseas.
In May, Williams was handed a suspended 14-month jail sentence for dangerous driving, having been going at up to 99mph.
The ex-United starlet was also ordered to carry out 180 hours of community service after being found to be driving without insurance.
Williams broke into the Red Devils’ first team as a teenager and went on to play 51 times for his boyhood club.
During his time at United he also went on loan to Norwich and Ipswich.
Earlier this year, Williams opened up on his struggles while appearing on Ben Foster’s Fozcast show.
He said: “My friends were worried about me, Angel Gomes, Jimmy [James] Garner, and D’Mani Mellor. Because I wasn’t training, I was staying in my apartment, I wasn’t moving, wasn’t coming out.”
Williams then added: “At that point I did [fall out of love with football], at that point it was just getting too much for me. It was problems with friends, friends going behind my back – stabbing me in my back.
“I was ignoring my family, I wasn’t really speaking to them.
“They were really worried about me, my friends were as well to be fair. They could see it. It wasn’t right.”
Williams has not played competitively since the first half of the 2023-24 season.
But it now appears that he is nearing a comeback to the game.
