What Next For Williamson After Hughton Praise?

Last updated : 08 September 2010 By Footy Mad - Editor

Chris Hughton: “It is early days, but Mike Williamson has been terrific so far.

“He has had to wait for this chance to play in the Premier League and he has had some frustrations along the way.

"There is always going to be a question mark about any player who has not played at that particular level before, but he has done very well in our first three games.

“We always felt he was someone who could make that step up, but you don’t know for certain. It’s the same with any player.

“But he is a very good defender and he has shown that so far. I think he has probably been one of our best players so far and that is down to him.

“He had a good season with us last year and he has carried that form with him into the Premier League.

“As I’ve said, nobody is getting carried away with the start we have had and Mike will be the same. There is a long way to go.”
