William joined Newcastle United after a long search for a young understudy for Isak in the summer of 2024.

With, then, back up striker Calum Wilson seemingly made of glass and ruled out of the start of the 2024/25 season with yet another injury it was imperative that United went into the season with at least someone to back up the Sweden man.

Whilst Williams stats on joining Newcastle at the time were not in any way impressive, manager Eddie Howe seemed convinced that the 6'4", 21 year old striker had the raw ingredients that could be shaped into an effective squad player for the Magpies. Indeed, had Wilson been fit that close season, he may have been moved out of the club in any case with just one year remaining on his contract. Osula would give the club both cover and options.
