Williams Signs New Torquay Deal - Despite Suffering Relegation

Williams was named in Gary Owers’ retained list and is ready to take on the Gull’s first season in the National League South.

Williams told the club`s official website: “I love the club.

“In terms of non-League clubs, it has done a lot better than others in terms of professionalism. I’m 30-years-old now and staying full-time for as long as possible is my main priority.”

Williams bolstered United’s attacking options last season when he arrived in January from league rivals Bromley, scoring 4 goals.

The season didn’t end how the club liked obviously, but the challenge ahead is something that Williams is looking forward to: “When I came in January I obviously wanted to help the club stay up. It was probably more of a challenge than what we thought, but now I want to help put things right.

“I get on well with the Gaffer, so it was a no-brainer really.”

Williams played in the National League South for Eastleigh earlier in his career.

And Torquay won’t be taking anything lightly in the season ahead. There are plenty of teams that will challenge for the title.

Williams added: “When you have teams like Billericay Town who are spending money and you have teams like Dartford still in there, there are a lot of experienced teams in the division. There’ll be a lot of pressure on us and we need to make sure we make a good start. We have to have that professional mentality and do things properly”.
