Walsall defender Harry Williams has committed his future to the Saddlers, signing a fresh two-year contract at the Pallet-Track Bescot Stadium. The 23-year-old centre-back, who joined from Alvechurch in 2023, has made 56 appearances for the club and was a key figure in last season’s campaign, featuring in 40 matches.
Williams’ season ended in heartbreak after suffering a serious Achilles injury during Walsall’s League Two play-off final defeat to AFC Wimbledon. The injury required surgery and has sidelined him for the start of the new season.
Now three months into his recovery, Williams is focused on rehabilitation and determined to return stronger. His commitment to the club — despite the setback — reflects both his character and Walsall’s faith in his long-term potential.
The club’s medical team, including physiotherapist Meldrick Gomes and staff members Chris Skitt and Will Hardman, have been instrumental in guiding Williams through the recovery process. Their support, combined with the defender’s own grit, has helped him navigate the physical and mental toll of injury rehab.
Head Coach Mat Sadler praised Williams’ resilience and confirmed the club’s intention to support him throughout his recovery. The new deal includes an optional third year, signaling Walsall’s belief in his future contribution.
Williams remains sidelined but is making steady progress at the club’s Essington training ground. While a return to match fitness is still months away, the defender is already eyeing his comeback — and with the backing of the club, he’s determined to make it count.
