Chelsea announces left-back has completed summer move
Dylan Williams has joined Burton Albion on a season-long loan, which includes an option to make the move permanent.
CHELSEA posted on the club website: ‘The 20-year-old joined the Blues from Derby County in January 2022 and during his first few months in our Academy helped our Under-18 side reach the semi-finals of the FA Youth Cup while featuring prominently for the Under-21s.
‘He remained a regular and consistent performer at that age group and in January of this year earned a place on the substitutes’ bench for the first team’s FA Cup third-round tie against Preston North End.
‘All the best, Dylan!
On signing Williams said: “I spoke to Charlie (Webster) briefly on the phone and he told me about the process and the direction this club is going in and explained the reasons why he was joining, which made me want to come here even more.
“I was with Mark (Robinson) at Chelsea and he’s such a great guy, he’s probably one of the most honest guys I’ve ever met. He’s an exceptional person and cares about everyone that he works with on and off the pitch.
“To join a club that is going through such big changes and changes that are going to take the club in the right direction, makes it feel amazing to be here.”
Bendik Hareide said: “We are pleased to welcome Dylan Williams to Burton Albion. He is a young and talented left-back who brings a solid mix of defensive ability and attacking support. We are looking forward to seeing him grow and contribute towards our team.”
