Chelsea can confirm Dylan Williams has completed a permanent transfer to League One club Burton Albion.

Williams joined the Blues from Derby County in January 2022 and featured for both our Under-18s and Under-21s throughout the remainder of that season.

He showcased his versatility over the following two campaigns, featuring as a centre-back, full-back, wing-back and winger for our Under-21s. He was also named on the first-team bench for an FA Cup third-round tie against Preston North End.

The 21-year-old joined Burton on loan last summer and, after making 32 appearances in all competitions, the Brewers have opted to sign Williams permanently.

We thank Dylan for his efforts throughout his time at Chelsea and wish him well as he begins a new chapter in his career.
