Hull City<\/a>\u00a0have confirmed the signing of former Manchester United<\/a> defender Brandon Williams, who has joined the Championship club<\/a> on a one-year deal.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Daily Mail Sport revealed that the former Red Devils\u00a0starlet was being chased by clubs in the Championship and overseas. Interest had been piqued by Williams’ form and attitude during a trial spell at Hull over the summer.<\/p>\n

Daily Mail Sport then exclusively revealed that the Tigers<\/a>\u00a0look to have won the race for the talented left back, with a medical due in East Yorkshire this week. A deal, with an option to extend his contract by a year, has now been confirmed.<\/p>\n

Williams said of the move: ‘It feels good to be back in the team environment and back on the pitch. Everyone has been very welcoming. It’s been a good few weeks but I’m just happy I’m here now and can focus on the football.<\/p>\n

‘I had a couple of very honest meetings with the manager. We know it’s going to be a process to get fully back up to speed, having that time out. It had been 20 months since I played or was involved with a team.<\/p>\n

‘I appreciated the manager’s honesty. Now, it’s down to me to work hard and get as many games as I can.<\/p>\n

\"Hull <\/p>\n

Hull City have confirmed the signing of Brandon Williams amid interest from several clubs<\/p>\n

\"Williams <\/p>\n

Williams burst onto the scene at Manchester United making his debut at just 19<\/p>\n

‘It was very difficult (taking a break from football) \u2013 mentally and physically. It’s been a long road back, but probably something I needed. Now, I’m back here a different person.<\/p>\n

‘I’ve grown up a lot and I’m ready to just focus on the football. I’ve missed it. I’m hungry, I’m fiery. I know what quality I can bring to the team. As soon as I get back to that, I’m sure I’ll be an asset to the team.<\/p>\n

‘I’ve put in the work and gained the trust of the manager, the people above him and the coaching staff.<\/p>\n

‘Now, I’ve got to show it to the fans and my team-mates to prove I’m here to work hard and help the team get results.’<\/p>\n

Williams burst onto the scene at Old Trafford, making his debut at just 19 and winning rave reviews for his tenacity.<\/p>\n

He has been without a club for a year since the expiration of his contract at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Williams made 21 Premier League appearances for United, and had loan spells at Ipswich Town and Norwich City.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year he expressed his desire to restart his career after being handed a suspended jail sentence for a 99mph car crash.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Williams admitted charges of dangerous driving and driving without insurance.<\/p>\n
