Club career

Originating from Preston,[2] Williams had spells with Blackburn Rovers and Morecambe[3] before joining Barnsley in June 2017, following a successful trial period.[4] On 4 September 2018, he made his first-team debut during their EFL Trophy victory over Oldham Athletic, featuring for the entire 90 minutes in the 2–1 win.[5]

Williams made his first league appearance for Barnsley against Peterborough United on 6 October.[6]

On 5 January 2022, Williams joined Cheltenham Town for an undisclosed fee.[7] After the conclusion of the 2023/24 season, Williams was one of 9 players released by Cheltenham, following their relegation to League Two.

On 10 August 2024, Williams joined League Two side Carlisle United on a deal until January 2025.[8] He made his debut later that day, starting in a 4–1 loss to Gillingham.[9]
