After playing for Leavesden Mental Hospital"s football team, as well as for Hertfordshire, Williams joined Watford as an amateur in 1910, turning professional in 1914. League football was then interrupted for four seasons due to the First World War.
Following its resumption in 1919, Williams again played a part as Watford finished runners up to Portsmouth on goal average.
Watford entered the Football League the following season, and Williams stayed with the club for a further six seasons. He stayed at Watford until 1926, before moving to Brighton & Hove Albion on a free transfer in 1926.
