Williams has made over 100 appearances for Scunthorpe

Defender Marcus Williams has finally ended speculation about his Scunthorpe future by signing a new two-year contract with the League One club.

Discussions on a fresh deal for the 22-year-old started in May 2007.

Manager Nigel Adkins told BBC Radio Humberside: "We're very pleased [the] negotiations have come to a conclusion and Marcus can concentrate on playing."

The left-back is now set to make his first appearance of the pre-season in Saturday's friendly at Doncaster.

Adkins added: "He's done very well since he's reported back for pre-season training and now both full-backs are under contract for the next two seasons so hopefully that gives us a good platform to go on as we mean to continue."
