Club career

Williams, who is the older brother of Wrexham striker Marc Williams, began his career as a trainee at Wrexham and signed professional terms in July 2005, when he was described by manager Denis Smith as "...quick, strong and has a good left foot."[2] He made his first-team debut as a half-time substitute in a 4–1 defeat by Wycombe Wanderers in September 2005[3] and became an established player in the Wrexham back four, making 60 league appearances in three seasons[4] and playing in the cup upsets at Sheffield Wednesday in August 2006[5] and Scunthorpe United in December 2006.[6] In November 2006, Williams agreed a new contract keeping him at Wrexham until 2009.[7] A the end of the 2009–10 season, Williams was released by Wrexham.

Williams is the third post-war player called Mike Williams to play for Wrexham. The first came through the youth system in the 1970s, with the second joining from Chester City in 1984.[8]

In July 2010 he joined fellow Conference National outfit Kidderminster Harriers on trial and was handed a permanent one-year contract with the Aggborough Stadium club on 20 July.[9]

International career

Williams made his debut for Wales U21 against Northern Ireland U21 in February 2006[10] and scored the winner on his second cap against Cyprus U21 in May 2006.[11] He went on to make 13 appearances for Wales U21 in total, scoring two goals.[12]

On 8 September 2009, he made his debut for the Wales semi-professional side during a 2-1 defeat to Poland.[13]
