BREAKING: Portsmouth make first summer transfer capture in shape of Barnsley leader

Pompey have completed the signing of Jordan Williams. 

The Blues have landed the right-back on a three-year-deal, as he becomes the club’s first signing of the summer. 

The 24-year-old links up with John Mousinho’s men in the Championship, with The News yesterday revealing the move was in the offing.

Williams arrives at Fratton Park as a free agent, as his six-year stay at Barnsley comes to a close this summer.

The former Huddersfield took the captain’s armband at Oakwell last term, where he led his team into the play-offs before eventual defeat to Bolton.

Pompey headed off interest from Cardiff to bring in Williams, who has also attracted interest from Preston as he builds a reputations as a dynamic operator down the right flank.

Williams is the first face through the door ahead of what promises to be a busy summer of player recruitment.

Pompey are hopeful of some quick work being added to next week, as revealed by The News today.
