🏉 New Signing Alert! 🌟
Liam Williams, the seasoned Welsh international, is ready for his next big challenge as he’s set to join Newcastle Red Bulls for the 2025/26 season! After a period without a club, the 34-year-old will bring a wealth of experience and his fierce competitive spirit to Newcastle, a team with high ambitions under the new ownership of Red Bull.
Newcastle’s head coach, Steve Diamond, left no room for doubt about Liam’s future impact, declaring him “the sort of bloke we want in the gang.” Diamond shared that Williams, a former scaffolder turned rugby veteran with nearly 100 international caps, is a perfect fit for their young squad.
The backstory is just as interesting! Williams and Diamond first crossed paths not on the rugby pitch but poolside during a holiday in Majorca. This unconventional meeting led to a promising new chapter for Williams and Newcastle, whose recent struggles in the English top flight might soon be a thing of the past.
Liam expressed his excitement about this fresh start, “It’s a good opportunity to experience something new. I’m thrilled about the club’s future under Red Bull and eager to help younger players maximise their abilities.”
Williams is their 14th signing since Red Bull’s involvement began, joining the ranks of talents like Christian Wade. With a debut possibly on the horizon against his former team, Saracens, Williams is ready to bring his winning mentality to the field once more.
Let’s get behind Liam and the Red Bulls as they gear up for an exciting season ahead! 🏆🔴 #Rugby #NewcastleRedBulls #LiamWilliams
