SUPERSTAR recruit Rhys Williams and Perth Glory are set to part ways just five months after the 14-time Socceroo signed for the club.

As Glory’s on-field woes worsen, Williams was a shock omission altogether form the squad that was comfortably beaten 4-1 by Sydney FC on Saturday night.

Fox Sports understands the 28-year-old defender is now looking to move on come the start of the January transfer window and the club looks set to grant that wish.

There’s unlikely to be a shortage of suitors for the former Middlesbrough man, once rated as a £10 million prospect in England before back-to-back Achilles injuries severely disrupted his career.

Sydney FC is just one A-League club that has reportedly declared their interest while enquiries have already been made from Korea, the UAE, Qatar and Malaysia.

It was hoped that a move back to his home state from the UK would help relaunch Williams’ career.

His signing in April on a one-year deal was viewed as the marquee name behind the Glory’s vision to rebrand itself as a Western Australian state team but that union now looks like coming to an abrupt end come January.
