Career
editBorn in Valencia to a DR Congolese father and a Spanish mother, Williams represented Levante UD, Patacona CF, Valencia CF[1] and Girona FC as a youth. Promoted to the latter's reserves in Tercera División RFEF in July 2021,[2] he made his senior debut on 5 September of that year, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–1 away win over CE L'Hospitalet.[3]
On 28 July 2022, Williams moved to Segunda Federación newcomers CD Atlético Paso.[4] He featured regularly for the side as they narrowly avoided relegation, and joined CD Tenerife on 27 June 2023, being initially assigned to the B-team in the fifth division[5] but making the pre-season with the main squad.[6]
Williams made his first team debut with Tete on 21 August 2023, replacing Sergio González late into a 2–0 Segunda División away win over SD Huesca.[7][8] On 31 July of the following year, he moved to fellow second division side Granada CF on a four-year contract.[9]
