Liverpool defender Rhys Williams has denied he had any part to play in a text message exchange circulating on social media, labelling the accusation as 'nonsense'.
Williams, who was born in Preston, recently signed for the Lilywhites' rivals Blackpool on a season-long loan as he looks to enjoy a campaign of regular first-team football.
The 21-year-old joined fellow Championship side Swansea City on loan last term, though was limited to only five league appearances before returning to the Reds in January after his temporary stay was terminated.
