Career

edit

Williams began a two-year scholarship at Harrogate Town in June 2021.[1] He made his first-team debut for the club on 5 October 2021, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–0 win over Newcastle United U21 in an EFL Trophy match at Wetherby Road.[2] Manager Simon Weaver said: "It's a massive moment seeing those three lads [Williams, Ilesanmi and Tweed] on the pitch. The reaction of the crowd was magical".[3] He made his debut in EFL League Two on 3 December 2022, in a 4–1 victory at Rochdale.[4]

Williams joined National League North club Darlington on 8 December 2023 on loan for a month.[5] He made four appearances, all as a substitute, before returning to Harrogate.[6]
