Wait 5 sec.

Brandon Williams has reportedly left Rotherham United following a trial, having not been offered a contract at the club.The former Manchester United starlet had been training with the League Two side since June, but he won’t be signing for them.Williams, who most recently played for Hull, will not be signing for RotherhamAnna GowthorpeAccording to the Rotherham Advisor, Williams has not received an offer to join the Millers on a permanent basis.He is understood to now be training elsewhere after being part of their sessions up until late last week.The 25-year-old featured in seven friendlies during his trial at the club and remained part of their camp as the League Two campaign started two weeks ago.But Rotherham are said to be looking at different recruitment priorities ahead of the transfer deadline on Monday.What next for Brandon Williams? Williams is hoping to revive his football career after he was handed a suspended 14-month prison sentence for dangerous driving last year.He has since spoken openly about his regret over his actions and revealed multiple off-pitch issues he has struggled with.His last professional football match was on August 23 in 2025, as he played five minutes for Hull City against Blackburn.They were his only minutes for the Tigers during a very short stint, and since that spell, he has been a free agent.It appeared that Williams could be closing in on a return to the game with Rotherham as he began a trial. However, he has not got the move and he will now hope that offers could come from elsewhere this summer.Williams played just five minutes in his brief spell with HullGettyHonest conversationWilliams is unlikely to have been too shocked by Rotherham’s decision not to offer him a permanent contract.Manager Alex Bruce, son of Steve Bruce, had already revealed earlier this month that he told the left-back to explore other options.“I’ve had a conversation with Brandon,” Bruce said. “If there’s anything out there for him in terms of someone being desperate for him, then of course he’s got to go and explore it.“At the minute, he’s happy training here, he’s happy being around the place.“But we are in a situation where other areas of the field might need addressing first before we look at that one. “We just have to play it by ear for the time being.”And now, it seems as if Rotherham have decided to address those other areas and not sign the ex-Man United man after his trial.
