Pass/Fail:

Lead[edit]

"A spell at Swedish Third Division club Östersunds FK followed in April 2010, playing seven times before leaving the club in June that year." - team to avoid close reptition of the same word
"and subsequently signed for another Conference South team in the form of Sutton United in October 2012." - better; for fellow Conference South team Sutton United in October 2012.

Millwall[edit]

"Williams signed his first professional contract with the club, signing the contract just hours before Millwall's FA Cup tie against Premier League club Everton. - Williams signed his first professional contract with Millwall, just hours before the club's FA Cup tie against Premier League club Everton.

" Williams was placed on the transfer-list by Brentford manager Andy Scott." - also; Williams was transfer listed by Brentford Manager Andy Scott

Return to England[edit]

"He became an regular member of Salisbury's playing squad adding another goal" - add a comma between "squad" and "adding"
"in a 2-2 draw" - the hyphen needs to be replaced by an en dash

References[edit]

References 2, 30 are missing the authors of the respective articles
Reference 36 is permantely dead and will need replacing
References 59, 60 and 61 need to be correctly formatted
Reference 62 needs the title of the article and the date it was published

Nice work so far. Not too much to be undertaken in this review. MWright96 (talk) 15:22, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking the time out to review the article @MWright96: I've made all of the changes you've mentioned. I have also given the career statistics table a refresh. Let me know if there's anything else. Cheers. SBFCEdit (talk) 18:44, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
