Brandon Williams says he’s back in love with football and has the fire and determination to succeed after making a long-awaited return to action on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
The former Manchester United man has endured a nightmare two years, but has been given the chance to resurrect his career<\/a> by Hull City<\/a> boss Sergej Jakirovic.<\/p>\n Williams came off the bench for a cameo in the 2-1 win over Sunderland<\/a> at the MKM Stadium. This was his first appearance for almost two years, after his last public outing in a Championship game for Ipswich Town before Christmas<\/a> 2023.<\/p>\n Now 24, Williams will hope to earn a deal with the Tigers and put a torrid period behind him, which has included him being handed a suspended jail sentence earlier this summer.<\/p>\n \u201c20 long, hard-working months. It does pay off. Back in love. Back with fire. Back with determination,” Williams wrote on social media with a picture of himself in action, followed by quotes about his return after such a long lay-off.<\/p>\n Jakirovic wants to bolster his defensive ranks this summer on the left side in a bid to give competition to resurgent Ryan Giles<\/a>, and told Hull Live how he’s keen to give people second chances<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI like to help people because everyone deserves a second chance in life,” the Bosnian said. “I spoke with him very honestly, and I explained to him what I expect from him. We will be very careful, very, very slow. We have time, so we will try to help him.<\/p>\n \u201cI think the quality is there because he was on a high level at Man United, so his quality is there. We need him to bring good fitness, and then we will make a decision. For me, his mentality is good. From our conversations, he\u2019s a very normal guy.\u201d<\/p>\n ere at <\/strong>Hull Live<\/a><\/strong>, we are dedicated to bringing you the best <\/strong>Hull City<\/a> <\/strong>coverage and analysis.
