## Career

### Pre-HTU

Southampton
Having joined at the club's inception around 2017, Williams was moved into Southampton's senior squad ahead of the 2017–18 season. She debuted in the Hampshire County League - Division 1 on 10 September 2017 in their opening day home defeat to Moneyfields. 2 appearances later, the midfielder scored twice in a 5-goal 1 October victory at AFC Portchester. That was followed by another brace a week later on the road at Gosport Borough, which itself preceded 2 goals in her next 2 matches against AFC Bournemouth Reserves and Bournemouth Sports in November. Further goals came in the opening portion of 2018 in matches with the former and with Widbrook United as they came away from the campaign as league champions.

*The Saints* played in the Southern Region League - Premier Division in 2018–19. She would net 3 goals in 3 straight February appearances versus Oxford City, New Milton Town and Wycombe Wanderers. The midfielder concluded her season with back-to-back goals in their final 2 matches that were both with Oxford City - once in the league and once in the League Cup final, which - like the division - saw them come out on top. Following their promotion, Southampton moved into the National League - Division One, Division One South West. Williams would net in solely in cup encounters across 23 total fixtures, as she noted singularly in a National League Cup tie with Ipswich Town and in an FA Cup match-up with Poole Town. In-between those in the former, she scored a hat-trick away to Larkhall Athletic on 20 October 2019.

2020–21, like 2019–20, would be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, as Williams was limited to 1 goal (vs. Ilminster Town, FA Cup) in 7 matches. 2021–22 would see normal service return as the full campaign was completed, one that *The Saints* concluded with promotion as champions to the Championship; on the way to glory, the midfielder notched goals against Keynsham Town and Oxford United as she featured 34 times throughout. In the 2nd tier, Williams made 4 substitute appearances across the season as she was limited to appearing once in August 2022, once in September and twice in April 2023; going unused on the bench 15 times. She did, however, make 3 starts across in the cups. Williams announced her departure on 16 May.

Oxford United
Oxford United of the National League - Premier Division, Southern Division publicised the signing of Williams on 12 July 2023. However, the midfielder would not feature competitively for *The U's*, instead switching to HTU in the succeeding August.

England (youth)
Williams represented England at youth level, notably for their under-17s (including as they came 4th at the 2018 UEFA Championship in Lithuania), under-18s and under-19s.
