Club career

Williams played for local sides La Horquetta Rangers and Central in Trinidad and Tobago. [1] [2] In late 2020, he moved to Northern Ireland and joined professional side Coleraine, alongside compatriot Gary Griffith. [3] In January 2022, after just over a year with Coleraine, he moved to America to join USL Championship side Pittsburgh Riverhounds, signing a one-year deal. [4]

After the Pittsburgh Riverhounds refused the one-year extension on his deal, Williams dropped down to the USL League Two, signing with Des Moines Menace. However, mid-way through the 2023 season, he moved to USL League One side Central Valley Fuego. [5]

On 15 December 2023, Williams signed with Chattanooga FC ahead of the club's first season competing in MLS Next Pro. [6]
