Hailing from Plymouth, Devon, Williams played much of his rugby for local side Albion.[1]
Williams, a fast and strong forward, won his first England call up in 1902, deputising for their captain John Daniell. He made intermittent appearances until 1907, for a total of seven caps, with two tries.[2][3]
