Merthyr Town Football Club are delighted to announce the extension to the loan of defender, Jay Williams from National League side, Sutton United, until the end of the 2024/25 season.

Jay, who first joined the Martyrs at the end of August 2024, has played 17 times for The Martyrs so far this season, cementing himself as part of a resolute Martyrs defence. Originally, Jay’s loan deal was scheduled to end on 7thJanuary after our away fixture against Tiverton Town, however an agreement has now been reached that will see Jay remain with us until the end of the 2024/25 season.

Speaking on Jay’s loan extension, Paul Michael said, “Jay has been fantastic since he has arrived and has made a huge contribution to our good form in the first half of the season. We were really keen to extend the deal until the end of the season, so I am delighted Jay sees it as a place he wants to stay at and continue to develop.”

Jay’s loan extension will be subject to FAW and FA approval, and we would like to thank Sutton United for their assistance throughout the loan transfer.
