Door 'shut' on Barrow captain Williams returning
Barrow captain MJ Williams has not played since a red card on 15 September, and will remain out of the squad for the foreseeable future says his manager.
The door remains closed for Barrow captain MJ Williams to return to the team, according to manager Adam Murray. Williams, who was named skipper at the start of the season, started in seven of Barrow's first eight matches. However, the 30-year-old midfielder was sent off in a loss to Solihull Moors on September 15 for two yellow cards and has not played since. Since then, Barrow has won their next three games, climbing into the top half of the National League, their best run since December 2023.
Murray expressed that he and Williams are on different pages from a football perspective, and they have seen in recent weeks when everyone is aligned, it can be powerful. Murray told BBC Radio Cumbria, "The door is shut, MJ is a good guy. I've got a good relationship with him, but from a football point of view, we're on different pages." He added that there isn't a place for Williams in the current team, though he didn't rule out the possibility entirely.
