Williams was in fine form against Huddersfield on Saturday

Colchester United goalkeeper Ben Williams believes he has rekindled his form of last season.

The 28-year-old has put in solid displays in his last two outings against Bournemouth and Huddersfield.

"That was definitely up there with the Bournemouth game," he told BBC Essex after Saturday's goalless stalemate with Huddersfield.

"I feel I'm back to where I was last season, I'm happy in myself and the manager's happy with me."

After struggling to shake off an ankle injury he picked up in pre-season, Williams did not feature for Colchester this term until October.

But he has gone on to add 17 more appearances to the 49 he had already collected since arriving from Carlisle in 2009.

"Ask any player, if you miss pre-season it's hard to then get into the flow of things, you're playing catch up," he added.

"As much as you think you're ready for it you're probably a little bit short.

"But now I'm back to as I was last season and I'm more than comfortable playing."
