After spending time with the Tottenham Hotspur academy and playing non-league football for Tower Hamlets,[4] Williams signed for Crystal Palace in January 2016.[5][6] He had been on trial with the club in December 2015.[7][8] Williams was released by Palace at the end of the 2016–17 season; in July 2017 he signed for Watford.[9] He moved on loan to Wycombe Wanderers in January 2018.[10] He made his professional debut on 2 April 2018, in a league game against Grimsby Town,[11] and was praised by Wycombe manager Gareth Ainsworth for his performance.[12] He returned to Wycombe in July 2018 for a second loan spell,[13] which ended on 1 January 2019.[14]

Exeter City

He moved to Exeter City on a free transfer on 18 January 2019.[15][16] He scored his first goal for Exeter in the 4–0 derby victory against local rivals Plymouth Argyle.[17] Williams ended the 2019–20 season with 5 goals and 14 assists, and was awarded Player of the Season and Goal of the Season by the club.[18]

He was offered a new contract by Exeter on 12 May 2021, with the club saying they expected him to leave.[19][20]

Hull City

On 17 June 2021 it was announced that he would sign for Hull City on a free transfer on 1 July 2021.[21][22] He made his debut for Hull on 14 August 2021 when he came on as a 73rd minute substitute for Richie Smallwood in the 3–0 loss to Queens Park Rangers.[23]
