The 31-year-old hasn't looked good enough for the Premier League for a long time now.
But the general consensus has been that Williamson is a hard worker - perfect for the Championship and not to be blamed that Newcastle didn't replace him when they got to the top flight.
Hence a move to Wolves on loan could be perfect for the defender.
One game into his Wolves spell, that looks as though it could well be the case. Indeed, fans raved on Twitter about Williamson's man-of-the-match debut performance at St Andrews. And what better way to introduce himself to the Wolves faithful than by helping his side to a clean sheet and derby win over Birmingham?
