Yeovil resigned to losing Williams

More details emerged this morning about the possible transfer of ex-Hereford United player Gavin Williams.

The Hull Daily Mail has reported that Doncaster and Hull are likely to compete to obtain Williams's signature, who still has a year left on his contract at Yeovil.

The West Country club look resigned to losing Williams who was recently voted player of the year at Huish Park.

Tigers' manager Peter Taylor tabled a 'substantial' offer, reported to be around £75,000, but it was turned down. The player is thought to have handed in a transfer request.

Meanwhile Doncaster manager, Dave Penney, confirmed this week that they had made a club record sum for a midfielder but refused to name the player.

It is thought that Williams was the player in question as Penney looks to bolster his squad for an assault on the Second Division.

Tigers' manager Peter Taylor said he was still waiting to speak to Gary Johnson, the Yeovil manager, about Williams.

Taylor said: "Gary is still away on holiday, but he knows I want to speak to him and we're hoping to talk soon."
