† Appearances (Goals).Marc Lloyd-Williams (born 8 February 1973) is a retired Welsh footballer. He is the Welsh Premier League's all-time top scorer, with over 300 goals.
Lloyd-Williams was born in Bangor, and brought up in Llanberis. He has played for a number of clubs including recently Bangor City (5 spells), TNS, Stockport County, York City, Aberystwyth Town, Halifax Town, Southport, Altrincham, Colwyn Bay, Porthmadog (2 spells), Newtown (2 spells) and Rhyl.

Lloyd-Williams would have won the European Golden Boot after scoring 47 goals in the 2001–02 season, but didn't as the Welsh Premier League has a lower co-efficient than some of Europe's bigger leagues.[1] He joined Southport in July 2002.[3] He then returned to Bangor in February 2003.[4] Lloyd-Williams then joined Aberystwyth Town in June 2003,[5] and probably enjoyed one of the best spells of his career, playing attractive football and scoring freely.
Lloyd-Williams returned to Bangor City in July 2006.[6] Lloyd-Williams left Bangor City in 2007 to join Rhyl FC, where he made 20 appearances scoring 16 goals, he then joined Newtown where he made 11 appearances scoring 5 goals. He returned to his roots rejoining Porthmadog for the start of the 2008–09 season.[7] [8]
In October 2010 he signed for again for Newtown.[9]
