He started his career at Nottingham Forest, a product of Paul Hart's successful youth system alongside Jermaine Jenas and David Prutton. While at Forest, Williams was described as the "best passer at the club" by former City Ground boss David Platt.[citation needed]
Williams signed a three year deal with Midlands rivals Leicester City in July 2004. With his contract up at the end of the season, he joined Watford for an undisclosed fee on January 31, 2007.[1]
On February 3, 2007, he played his first Premiership match for Watford against Bolton Wanderers [2] He only played for Watford a further two times, before sustaining anterior cruciate ligament damage whilst training in April 2007, an injury that kept him out of action for the remainder of that season and will keep him out much of 2007-08.
He has captained the Scotland Under-21 team and won the first of his 5 full caps against Nigeria at Pittodrie in April 2002. Until this point, he had been eligible to play for Wales.
