The first words from Peterborough United's new winger Ethan Williams
Peterborough United winger Ethan Williams has told fans what they can expect from their new man!
The 20-year-old was officially confirmed as a Posh player on Thursday and has signed a long term contract after joining from the Manchester United youth ranks.
He spent the second half of the 2024/25 season on loan at Cheltenham in League Two and the 2025/26 season at Falkirk and has now insisted that the time is now right to move away from United and get his career truly started.
He has also told fans they can expect a direct winger, who loves to score goals!
He said: “I’m a direct winger who can go ways. I love to create and score goals. Hopefully we can get off to a good start in the league, we’ve got three games this month before we go into September and we want to get off on the right foot.
Peterborough expressed their interest in me and with me being out on loan in the last couple of seasons and getting some men’s football experience, I think the time was right to come away from United.
“It’s always hard but there comes a day where you have to make tough decisions to develop yourself and Peterborough are well known for that.
“After the Cheltenham loan, I ended up going to Falkirk and it was a really good experience for me. Men’s football is good for a young footballer’s development.
“Hopefully we can do well as a team. Obviously, Peterborough are well known for developing young players and I’m a young player trying to get minutes in men’s football.
“This club’s identity is all about youth at the minute and definitely one of the things that bought me here.
"United nurtured me into the player I am today. The pre-season tour was an amazing experience and it’s always good to get minutes in the first team with the senior lads. Hopefully I can gave a successful career and get a lot of games under my belt now.”
