Owain fon Williams signed from Crewe Alexandra in pre-season, has been fantastic for us so far and looks like improving, he has played at all Welsh national levels except 1st squad and if he continues his form with us a full cap shouldn't be too far away for the young Welshman, former County boy Wayne Hennessey better keep an eye out for Williams.
