ATK sign Wellington Phoenix star forward David Williams

The Australian played alongside ATK's another recent signing Roy Krishna last season.

Less than a fortnight after signing Wellington Phoenix star Roy Krishna, ATK have now roped in Krishna's former teammate, David Williams from the Australian side, the club announced on Friday.

David Williams made his debut for Queensland Roar and went onto play for several A-League clubs including North Queensland Fury, Sydney FC, Melbourne City and Wellington Phoenix. The talented 31-year-old had also played in Europe for Danish Superliga (Denmark) club Brøndby and NB I (Hungary) club Haladás.

Williams wreaked havoc in the A-League last season alongside Krishna, sharing 30 goals between them in the competition. He scored eleven times in 27 matches. Williams has also represented his country at the U-20 FIFA World Youth Championship.

“David Williams is another signing I am very happy with. His pace and technique will be valuable to us. He also brings variety to the squad since he can play on either side of the wings as well. His understanding with teammate Roy Krishna will be crucial for us,” head coach Antonio López Habas said.

“I am happy to join ATK for the upcoming season of Indian Super League. I am absolutely delighted that I will be able to play alongside my friend Roy Krishna. Hopefully, together as a team, we will be able to win the title and create memories,” Williams quipped.

Williams becomes ATK's third attacking reinforcement this season, after Jobby Justin and Roy Krishna earlier. However, Williams' ability to play on both wings will also help Habas, which was one of the weakest position for the side last season.

Apart from  the striking department, ATK have also signed Indian sensation Michael Soosairaj along with his brother, Michael Regin for next season. With Habas at the helm, whose gameplay includes a physical but technical forward upfront, helped by a strong midfield behind, ATK are expected to be the side to watch next season.

Among themselves, ATK's newly signed attacking reinforcements had scored 39 goals in the last season, which could be a major factor in the next edition of the ISL.
