[edit] Career
[edit] Scunthorpe United
Born in Doncaster, Williams began his career as a trainee with Scunthorpe United, turning professional on 1 July 2003 and originally wore the number 17 shirt.
[edit] Reading
He joined Reading on a free transfer on 11 May 2010, signing a three year deal after he turned down a new contract at Scunthorpe.[1][2] At the start of the 2010-11 season Williams rejoined Scunthorpe United on loan until the end of the season.
[edit] Sheffield United
The following season Williams went out on loan once more, agreeing a month's stay at Sheffield United to act as defensive cover[3] making his début the same day in a 3-0 home loss to Huddersfield Town. With this deal about to expire it was extended for a further two months to keep him at Bramall Lane until December of that year.[4] Williams returned to Bramall Lane on the opening day of the transfer window, this time on a permanent deal, signing a two and a half year deal on a free transfer from Reading.[5]
