## Career
### Stevenage

Williams joined the Stevenage academy after being released by Tottenham Hotspur at under-12 level. Whilst a second-year scholar at Stevenage, Williams was loaned to Biggleswade of the Southern League Division One Central in October 2020, in order to gain first-team experience. He made two appearances during the loan spell, scoring once, before returning to Stevenage when Biggleswade's season was suspended due to restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Williams signed his first professional contract with Stevenage on 22 April 2021. Having been an unused substitute in the first team on three occasions, he made his professional debut for Stevenage in the club's 1–0 away victory at Scunthorpe United on 8 May 2021, coming on as an 83rd-minute substitute in the match.
