Williams began his career with his home-town club MK Dons, progressing through several age groups alongside England international Dele Alli, before making his Dons` debut aged just 16 years and 66 days in their 6-0 home FA Cup demolition of Northern Premier side Nantwich Town.
After
just 3 senior appearances at Stadium MK, registering a single goal, he was on
the move, signing for Premier League Fulham for an undisclosed fee.
During
a six-year period at Craven Cottage, he made 16 appearances, 14 of which were
during an impressive 2014/15 campaign, which culminated in him earning his
first senior Welsh cap, making his debut as a second half substitute for Jonny
Williams against Holland in June 2014.
He
qualified for Wales through his mothers` lineage, representing the Dragons at
under-17, 19 and under-21 level before graduating to the senior side in 2014,
making 7 appearances for the Welsh national team between 2014 and 2018,
including being named in Chris Coleman’s squad for Euro 2016 which saw Wales
advance to the competition’s semi-final.
Loan
spells with MK Dons (twice), Gillingham and St Johnstone preceded a permanent
move away from West London, joining Forest Green Rovers in June 2018.
A
two-year spell at the New Lawn saw him make 50 appearances for Rovers, scoring 9
goals.
Spells
with Grimsby Town and Barrow in League Two followed for Williams in seasons
2020/21 and 2021/22, making 23 and 22 appearances respectively in each season,
before departing the Bluebirds at the end of the 2021/22 season at the
conclusion of his contract at Holker Street.
Manager
Luke Garrard told https://www.borehamwoodfootballclub.co.uk:
“I’m really happy to have signed George. He has come in this pre-season and
showed a real level of professionalism and performance throughout the sessions
and especially in the matches against some real tough opposition.
“After
an initial few days with the group training, we decided to invite George down
to Barnstaple for our pre-season training camp and during that period I learnt
a lot about his manner off the pitch. I was extremely impressed about his drive
and hunger.
“George
has played at the highest level on the international stage and that sort of
experience will be very welcome in our group. He knows what I expect as he has
been involved with this group from day one of pre-season and will most
definitely add real value to this group of players”. |
