Raised in Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, Williams is the elder brother of Canada scrum-half Morgan Williams and came through the Pacific Pride program in British Columbia. [2]

Williams, a James Bay stalwart, had several years as an international rugby sevens player by the time he got his Canada senior call up in 2001. [3] He was capped five times for Canada that year, debuting at fullback against the United States in Kingston, then later playing a tournament in Japan with the national team. [4]

From 2015 to 2021, Williams served as coach of the Canada men's under-20 rugby union team. [5]
