He made his non-competitive debut for West Ham on 17 July 2008 against Hampton & Richmond Borough completing 90 minutes in a 2-4 victory. This match was then followed with a full 90 minutes on 24 July 2008 in the MLS All-Stars game in Toronto in which Widdowson was handed the difficult task of marking England legend David Beckham. Widdowson impressed many spectators during the game with the way he handled the task set in such a controlled manor, and ended the game swapping shirts with the LA Galaxy star.
