Rhys Williams has revealed how Leighton Clarkson sold him on a loan move to Aberdeen as he becomes their fifth summer signing.
The defender, 22, has joined from Liverpool on a season-long deal. The former England under-21 cap admitted his former Anfield teammate and the chance to play Europa League group stage football were big factors in his switch to Pittodrie. Williams said: “I’m really pleased to be here. When I knew there was an opportunity to come to Aberdeen on loan I spoke to Leighton Clarkson and he couldn’t speak highly enough about his experience.
“I actually met some of the boys during the summer so there will be a few familiar faces in the dressing room which I’m sure will help me settle quickly. There’s a lot to look forward to this season, particularly with European football, and I can’t wait to get started and show everyone what I am capable of.”
