We are delighted to announce the permanent signing of highly-rated Manchester United winger Ethan Williams for a sizeable undisclosed fee, with the 20-year-old penning a long-term contract.
Williams, who has just completed a pre-season tour with Manchester United, which included a goal in the 5-0 win over Rosenburg, completed the necessary paperwork at the Bespoke Builds Training Ground.
The winger, who joined Manchester United in 2019 from Rochdale's Academy, has enjoyed loan spells in Sky Bet League Two with Cheltenham Town and in the Scottish Premier League with Falkirk, making 22 appearances last term including games against the Old Firm.
The club have fought off interest in Williams from a host of other clubs with the winger handed the vacant number 10 shirt.
Manager Luke Williams said: "Ethan is a player that will give us another option in the wide areas, he is quick, direct and will be a threat and I am looking forward to working with him.
"He has already got first team experience at a few clubs and joins us after being away with Manchester United on their pre-season tour, so he is fit and ready to go."
Ethan Williams said: "The identity of this club is clear, they like to work with younger players and when I heard of the interest, it was a move that I wanted to make. I have been out on-loan at a couple of clubs, have gained a lot of experience of men's football and felt it was the right time to leave United and sign for Peterborough.
"I have enjoyed my time at United and it's always tough to leave a place like that, but there comes a time in your career where you have to make tough decisions to develop yourself and Peterborough is renowned for helping younger players."
