About Jennison Myrie-Williams
Born 1988. Jennison Myrie-Williams is a British association football player.
Loan moves Ahead of the 2007β08 season, Bristol City manager Gary Johnson stated his intention to send Myrie-Williams out on loan to gain first-team experience. Johnson believed that Myrie-Williams would benefit most from a loan move to a League One club, given that he had been playing in the third tier of English football prior to Bristol City's promotion to the Championship during the 2006β07 season. After making four first-team appearances for Cheltenham during the month, the loan was extended for a further month, running until 6 October 2007. Cheltenham manager John Ward stated: "I am really pleased that Jennison will be staying with us. In the last two or three games he has started to show his tremendous pace and ability on the ball". He scored his first goal for Cheltenham in a 3β1 away win at Swindon Town in the Football League Trophy on 9 October 2007. Myrie-Williams sustained a knee injury in training in October 2007, ruling him out of first-team action for two weeks. He made 13 appearances for Cheltenham during his three-month loan spell, scoring one goal, and returned to his parent club in early November 2007. The loan spell was extended for a further month on 19 December 2007, after Myrie-Williams had impressed manager Ronnie Moore during his initial four weeks with the club. Myrie-Williams scored his first goal for Tranmere on 26 January 2008, converting the winning goal from the penalty spot in a 2β1 victory against Yeovil Town at Prenton Park. Two days after scoring his first goal for the club, his loan spell was extended until the end of the 2007β08 season. Both managers were described as "delighted" with the progress Myrie-Williams was making at Tranmere, He was substituted after 55 minutes in a 2β1 defeat at Walsall, a match in which he had scored the opening goal, due to an injury that ultimately ruled him out for the remainder of that season. signing a one-month loan deal on 14 August 2008. Shortly after his return, Myrie-Williams was loaned to another League One club, this time Carlisle United. He stated that the move appealed to him because of manager John Ward, under whom he had previously played at Cheltenham Town. He made his Carlisle debut on 20 September 2008, coming on as a 72nd-minute substitute in a 2β0 home defeat to Leeds United. The loan agreement was extended for a further month on 15 October 2008, making ten appearances in total during the loan agreement. Myrie-Williams was loaned out for a third time during the 2008β09 season, joining Hereford United on 23 January 2009. He scored his first goal for Hereford on 17 February 2009 in the club's 2β0 home victory over Leeds United, scoring with a low shot to give Hereford the lead just before half-time. He returned to Bristol City in February 2009, only to rejoin Hereford a month later, on a loan until the end of the season. He made 15 appearances across the two spells, scoring twice, as Hereford were relegated to League Two after finishing bottom of the table.
Dundee United At the end of the 2008β09 season, Myrie-Williams was released by Bristol City. He joined Dundee United on a free transfer on 12 June 2009, signing a two-year contract with the Scottish Premier League club. Myrie-Williams made his Dundee United debut on 22 August 2009, coming on as an 88th-minute substitute in a 0β0 draw at St Mirren. He made his first league start on 17 October 2009, playing 84 minutes in a 1β1 home draw against Hamilton Academical, earning the Man of the Match award for his performance. He scored his first competitive goal for Dundee United in a 3β2 home win against St Mirren on 5 December 2009, scoring the club's third goal in the match. Myrie-Williams received the first red card of his career when he was sent off for two bookable offences in the club's 2β0 home defeat against Celtic on 25 April 2010. He played in the club's 2β0 victory over Raith Rovers in the Scottish Cup semi-final, but was not selected for the final at Hampden Park. He made 27 appearances in his first season at the club, scoring twice. It proved to be Myrie-Williams' only appearance for the club at the start of the campaign, Shortly before the summer transfer window closed, on 31 August 2010, Myrie-Williams departed the club by mutual consent.
St Johnstone Myrie-Williams signed for another Scottish Premier League club, St Johnstone, on 14 September 2010, joining on a free transfer. He signed a short-term deal lasting until January 2011 Myrie-Williams did not feature again for two months. His final appearance for the club came as an 89th-minute substitute in a 2β0 away defeat to Celtic at Celtic Park on 26 December 2010. Shortly after the game, he was informed by manager Derek McInnes that he was free to find a new club, with his contract set to expire at the end of January 2011. Myrie-Williams made eight appearances for St Johnstone during his three-month spell with the club. However, the transfer was voided as a result of Myrie-Williams having already played for two clubs during the 2010β11 season: one appearance for Dundee United and eight for St Johnstone. Under FIFA regulations, a player is not permitted to play for more than two permanent clubs in official competitions during a single season.

After making just one starting appearance for Stevenage in the opening months of the 2011β12 season, Myrie-Williams joined League Two club Port Vale on loan on 24 November 2011, on an agreement until January 2012. A day later, he made his debut for Port Vale in a 0β0 home draw against Torquay United, playing the full match. During the game, he impressed manager Micky Adams, who praised Myrie-Williams for his positive attitude, character, and ability to excite the fans with his performance. In his next appearance for the club, he scored the equalising goal in a 2β1 win at Dagenham & Redbridge, with a shot from 25 yards. Myrie-Williams' effort was Vale's first goal in 502 minutes (more than five games) of football. He returned to Broadhall Way in January, having scored one goal in six matches for Port Vale, who were unable to extend the loan deal due to an acute lack of funds.
On his return to Stevenage, Myrie-Williams was made available for transfer by manager Graham Westley after being informed he did not feature in Westley's plans. Both Port Vale and Sheffield United were reportedly interested in signing the player on a permanent basis. League Two club Bradford City also held discussions with Stevenage regarding a potential transfer for Myrie-Williams, although negotiations were paused following Westley's departure, No transfer materialised, and he came on as a late substitute in Stevenage's 2β0 defeat to Charlton Athletic on 25 February 2012, marking his first appearance for Stevenage in five months. Myrie-Williams made 19 appearances for Stevenage in all competitions during the season.

He ended the season with ten goals in 46 appearances, helping the club to secure a ninth-place finish in League One. Following a public vote conducted by The Sentinel in February 2020, Myrie-Williams was named as Port Vale's second-best winger of the 2010s, receiving 32% of the vote, behind David Worrall, who received 44%. Upon his departure, Adams thanked Myrie-Williams for his contributions, describing him as a player capable of brilliance but also inconsistency, and expressed disappointment with his decision to join Scunthorpe United, suggesting it was motivated by financial gain rather than career progression.
Scunthorpe United Myrie-Williams rejected a contract extension with Port Vale to sign a two-year deal with newly promoted League One club Scunthorpe United on 11 June 2014.

He made 10 league appearances for Torquay during the 2017β18 season, of which three were starts, before departing the club on 12 February 2018. He subsequently joined Southern League Premier Division club Hereford on 23 February 2018.

He scored six goals in 36 games throughout the 2025β26 season,
International career Myrie-Williams represented England at under-18 level. Myrie-Williams can play on either flank. He also highlights his vision for creating goalscoring opportunities and gets as much enjoyment assisting goals as he does scoring them.
In June 2009, Steve Claridge described Myrie-Williams as a "priceless asset" for his ability to transition defence into attack and alleviate defensive pressure: "Whenever he was given time and space to run at the opposition he looked dangerous and comfortable with the ball at his feet. This appears to be a side to his game that comes naturally. As the match became stretched, he quickly turned defence into attack with lung-bursting runs". League One
