We are delighted to announce the loan signing of Goalkeeper Woody Williamson!
18-year-old Woody Williamson joins on loan from Premier League side Ipswich Town. Woody is a local lad who grew up in Chelmsford, supporting the Clarets as well. His footballing career so far has seen him feature for Ipswich’s youth sides and playing in the FA Youth Cup before he played out on loan during the second half of last season with Cheshunt.
Manager Robbie Simpson said: “It was always our intention to sign another goalkeeper and with the signing of Woody we really feel that we now have 2 outstanding young goalkeepers with bags of potential.
Woody has actually been signed for a few weeks now, having agreed the deal within Ipswich’s window but he unfortunately suffered an injury in the week he signed, however is back in full training now.
It will be great competition between them both and they’ll push each other on and make each other better!
I’m really excited to see both of them in action, battling it out.
One thing we have always had is healthy competition for starting places and we had never quite had that in the goalkeeping department but we do now.
It will not only benefit us but also both of our bright young keepers.
A huge welcome to Woody!”
Welcome to the Clarets Woody!
