society

Williams joined Liverpool FC's youth academy at the age of six and rose to the youth ranks, representing the club at U18, U19 and U23 levels and in the UEFA Youth League . He suffered a serious back injury that excluded him for most of the 2017/18 season. Two years later he won the FA Youth Cup with Liverpool.

Williams' good performance in the youth selection was rewarded when he made his debut for the senior team on October 30, 2019, with a 5-4 win on penalties (5-5 in regular time) against Arsenal in the EFL Cup was in the starting XI. He played a prominent role in the game, providing a last-minute assist for Divock Origi's goal to equalize 5-5 , which enabled the penalty shoot-out in which Liverpool emerged victorious. In December, he was added to the Liverpool squad that won the 2019 FIFA Club World Cup , despite not appearing in either of the club's games in the competition. His debut in the Premier League was on 24 June 2020 shortly after the season after a three-month break due to the COVID-19 pandemic was resumed, as he, after 74 minutes with a 4: 0 win over Crystal Palace substitute has been. At the end of the 2019/20 season, he was English champion with Liverpool FC.
