Williams moved to the Hawthorns in 2018 and has since been a regular for the Midlands club at youth levels. He has made a handful of appearances in the EFL Trophy in this campaign but has mainly been used with their Under-23’s.

Birmingham boss Lee Bowyer will be gearing up for his first full season at the helm next term and he will be looking to put his own stamp on his newly inherited squad this summer.

Williams is someone who would be a decent long-term option for the Blues and would also provide some useful immediate depth and competition to their defensive department.
