The shape of him
N. Williams is a defender and a Wales international. In 25/26 that meant 53 club appearances and 4,327 minutes. Defending is anticipation as much as tackling: reading the pass before it is played, holding the line, and starting the attack from the back.
The job
Win the individual duels, protect the space behind, and give the team a platform to build from.
