Former Cheltenham Town and Sacramento Republic forward Harry Williams has rejoined Gloucester City on loan until the end of the season.

In his previous spells with the Tigers, Williams scored seven times in 16 appearances and comes in to help further bolster the attacking options available to boss Marc Richards following Rhys Kavanagh’s signing from Bristol Rovers last week.

Able to play in both an attacking midfield role or as a striker, Williams will be an excellent option for City after his experience in playing at a high level in America’s United Soccer League (USL) where he scored eight goals for Paul Buckle's side despite suffering two key spells of injury.

He has turned down Football League offers in order to play regular first team football now and the Tigers are delighted that he has opted to return to the club.

Richards said: “It’s great that we’ve been able to bring Harry in as he gives us greater strength in depth and will add to our attacking options.

"He’s come in to help us out at a key stage in our season. We know he can play at a higher level and hopefully with the chances we’ve been creating, he can come in, score some goals for us and once again enable him to kick on in his career.

"We are hoping to have him in the squad for Saturday but we are waiting on his international clearance."
