Club career

edit

Born in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, William joined São Paulo FC's youth setup in 2013, after impressing for clubs in his hometown.[1] In April 2017, he moved to La Liga side CD Leganés, after his contract with Tricolor expired.[2]

Initially assigned to the youth setup, William made his senior debut with the reserves on 25 February 2018, coming on as a late substitute in a 5–0 Tercera División away routing of CDF Tres Cantos.[3] His first goal came on 29 April, as he scored his team's first in a 2–2 home draw against CD Móstoles URJC.[4]

On 30 August 2018, after spending the whole pre-season with the first team, William signed a one year loan deal with Ukrainian Premier League side FC Karpaty Lviv.[5] He made his professional debut on 15 September, replacing Maryan Shved at half-time in a 0–1 home loss against FC Vorskla Poltava.

On 2 September 2019, William was loaned to Segunda División B side FC Cartagena for the season.[6] The following 22 August, after helping in the club's promotion to the second division, his loan was extended for a further campaign.[7]

On 14 January 2021, William left Efesé after his loan was cut short,[8] and subsequently moved to Valencia CF Mestalla also in a temporary deal just hours later.[9] On 5 July, he renewed his contract with Lega until 2023, and moved to Deportivo de La Coruña on loan.[10]

On 1 September 2022, William was loaned to Belgian First Division B side K.M.S.K. Deinze, for one year.[11]
