Rhys Williams came through his first competitive game in 11 months with a clean bill of health.
The goalless Barclays Under-21 Premier League clash between Boro and Aston Villa at Burton’s Pirelli Stadium was the Australian’s first appearance since the 0-0 Championship draw with Wigan on January 28.
On that occasion, Williams collapsed to the turf in first half stoppage time and it was subsequently confirmed that he’d suffered a torn Achilles heel.
Against Villa on Monday night, Williams played the opening 66 minutes for Paul Jenkins’ side, who stay third in the table after earning a point.
BORO U-21S: Ripley, R Williams, Weledji, Burn (captain), Bennett, Tinkler, Jowers, Maloney, Wyke, Griffiths, Brobbel. Subs: Coddington, Fry, Cooke, Kitching, Chapman.
