## Summary

Rotherham United have signed former Manchester United full-back Brandon Williams on a three-month deal after an extended trial. The move gives the 26-year-old a chance to restart his career and adds defensive cover for a side close to the League Two relegation zone.

Williams played more than 50 times for Manchester United and had loan spells at Norwich City and Ipswich Town before joining Hull City, where he made one appearance last season. He left Hull by mutual consent in February, after a suspended prison sentence for dangerous driving in May 2025 and 20 months out of the game. Rotherham manager Alex Bruce said Williams had worked hard since pre-season and earned the opportunity; the club have won two of 12 league matches and sit one point above the relegation zone.
