Doncaster Rovers have signed midfielder Ed Williams on a two-year contract.
Williams is Doncaster’s fourth signing of the summer, following the arrivals of Jason Lokilo, Josef Bursik, and Taylor Richards.
Doncaster Rovers Sign Ed Williams
Impressed in Pre-Season During Trial
Williams has impressed Darren Moore during pre-season, which he has spent on a trial with Doncaster Rovers.
The versatile midfielder started out at Cheltenham Town and had a spell at Gloucester City, where he was named Player of the Year in 2017/18.
Williams, 25, was also studying during his time with Gloucester.
Most recently, he had played for Kidderminster Harriers.
Buzzing to Join Doncaster Rovers
“I’m so glad to get it over the line,” Williams said. “I’ve obviously been here for two weeks now and I think it’s gone really well and I’m buzzing to be here.
“All the boys and the staff have been really welcoming and it’s been really enjoyable. I’ve enjoyed it a lot.
“It’s a lot of pressure to do well and earn a contract but I’m confident in my own ability and I’m pleased it’s paid off.”
Determined to Prove Himself in Football League
“I’m determined to prove myself,” Williams added.
“It’s been a long few years in non-league but I’ve learned a lot from it and I feel like I’m ready to make the step.”
Trial Was Initially Agreed in January
Williams is said to be good on the ball, which is always going to be of great importance in Darren Moore’s Doncaster Rovers side.
He has shown goalscoring traits, with 15 goals in his 51 appearances for Kidderminster Harriers.
The 25-year-old was going to join Doncaster on trial in January, where he’d have featured for the U23 side, however, an injury prevented that from happening.
He then started his trial this summer and has now bagged himself a two-year contract with the League One club.
