Career
Williams, who is the brother of fellow Kidderminster Harriers defender Mike Williams, came through the youth system at Wrexham and made his first-team debut in January 2006 against Rushden & Diamonds,[2][3] in which he and his brother became the seventh pair of brothers to represent Wrexham.[4] In the following month, he made his debut for the Wales Under-21 side against Northern Ireland Under-21.[5] He scored two goals in his next game for the Welsh Under-21 side against Israel Under-21 in August 2006.[6] Williams signed a new contract with Wrexham in summer of 2006[7] and made 17 league and cup appearances for Wrexham in the 2006–07 season.[8] He made a further 23 league and cup appearances in the 2007–08 season as Wrexham were relegated from the Football League.[9]
Williams contributed to Wrexham's bid to return to the Football League with 15 goals (13 league and 2 cup) including a hat trick against Eastbourne Borough on 20 December 2008. However, on 28 February 2009, he suffered a broken foot in a match against Salisbury, which ruled him out for the remainder of the season.[10] After injury disrupted the majority of Williams' 2009–10 season, he was handed a six-month deal to prove his fitness. However, with the arrival of Andy Morrell, he found himself out of favour at the club and instead joined Kidderminster Harriers on loan in August 2010,[11] scoring on his debut in a 4–3 defeat to Southport.
