Williams joined Hartlepool United in July 2000 and began 2000-01 as second-choice keeper to Martin Hollund, but within a month he had won a place in the starting line-up where he remained for the rest of the campaign.
He is a very capable goalkeeper who commands his area well, gives confidence to his defenders and has a reputation for saving penalties.
Williams holds the record for the number of Wales Under-21 caps.
Williams joined Grimsby Town in July 2004 with a one-year contract before moving on to Carlisle United in July 2005 with a two-year contract.
After a loan spell, he joined Wrexham in July 2007 in a two-year deal but was made available for transfer in May 2008.
