Williams has said: “Originally, I thought I was staying, at the end of the season. So it came as a bit of a surprise to me, but then football doesn’t surprise much any more; I’ve been in the game for 10 years now and had lots of ups and downs.

“I’m a free agent again and I’ll keep fighting on and enjoying the game, wherever it may be. I wasn’t completely told what happened [at Cardiff] but at the end of the day, I hadn’t signed and someone’s taken a decision on that front so that’s that. I’ll move on and see what happens.”
