Williams came to prominence playing for [[Aberavon RFC]] where he became a formidable scrummager under the coaching of the ex-Welsh International prop – Phil Morgan.
He is best known for playing club rugby for [[Swansea RFC]], but when he was first capped he was playing for [[Aberavon RFC]].

He was selected for the 1977 Lions tour but remarkably on his return to his club, he lost his place to the then un-capped John Richardson.

Williams left the club and joined [[Swansea RFC]] and was again selected to play for the 1980 Lions.
