Liverpool right-back Neco Williams has today signed a new long- term contract at Anfield, as confirmed by the club’s official website.
The 19-year-old Welshman, who secured his position as a viable backup to Trent Alexander-Arnold at the tail end of the 2019/20 campaign, has now committed his long term future to the Premier League champions.
Williams is currently at the Reds’ pre-season training base in Austria with the rest of the squad.
The Wales Under-19 international told Liverpoolfc.com:
It feels amazing. At the minute for me, I think there is no better place to learn and to become a better player than being here and working with the lads. I think we’ve got some of the best players in the world and we’re one of the best teams in the world.

The youngster particularly impressed with his performances at the back end of the season as Jurgen Klopp rested regular first-team players in order to give fringe players, like Williams, more top-flight exposure.
His six Premier League appearances were enough to earn him a medal at the end of the campaign and The Welshman joined in on the celebrations as the Reds ended a three-decade wait for domestic glory.
With Liverpool preparing to defend their title as well as fighting on all fronts for domestic and European cup successes, Klopp will undoubtedly be prepared to utilise the full depths of his squad in order to obtain success.
Williams could well see his role elevated markedly during the 2020/21 season.
