Scunthorpe United is delighted to announce former attacker Luke Williams has rejoined the club.
The now-31-year-old returns to the Attis Arena a decade on from his first spell at the club, which was on loan from Middlesbrough in 2014. He would score two goals in six appearances in that spell.
Williams would end up going on loan to Coventry City and Peterborough United in the same season, before the Iron swooped for the attacker in the summer. Unfortunately, a horror tackle on the opening day of the 2015-16 season put Williams on the sidelines with a serious injury, which would take some battling. Despite setbacks, he did score five goals in 37 league games during that permanent spell, adding two further strikes in the EFL Trophy, before signing for Hartlepool United in 2018.
He would spend a season at Gateshead before moving to Iceland where he has been representing second division side Víkingur Ólafsvík for their last three campaigns, where he's scored a total of 14 goals in 38 appearances. Captaining the side throughout their last campaign, which has recently come to a conclusion, Williams was on a run of seven goals in seven games during the season and netted a total of eight in 13 appearances for the side.
Williams has been training with the club for six weeks, and agrees non-contract terms with the Iron, making him now eligible to represent the club.
The attacking midfielder is eligible for this weekend's encounter in the Isuzu FA Trophy having received international clearance, and has been allocated the number 23 jersey.
