Liverpool defender Rhys Williams moves to Blackpool on loan

Liverpool defender Rhys Williams has joined Blackpool on a season-long loan deal.

The 21-year old centre back wanted to be sure about his move as it is important he gains regular competitive football after a difficult loan spell at Swansea City last season.

Blackpool manager Michael Appleton has convinced the 6ft 5ins defender to join the Seasiders as he looks to push for promotion.
