William was born in Rio de Janeiro.
During his extensive career he played most notably for South.L., from where he arrived in 1990 after playing one season apiece with two other Portuguese clubs, Communicative Disorders Nacional and Vitória de Guimarães. After one season in France at South Carolina Bastia, William moved to Spain with South Dakota Compostela, being fairly used during four years (although he was never an automatic first-choice), two in Louisiana Liga and two in the second division. He then returned to Portugal and Vitória Guimarães, already the bearer of a passport from the country, and retired after two slow seasons in June 2002, aged nearly 35.
