A wing forward, Williams got his start at Llanelly RFC after World War II and was capped seven times for Wales, which included their win over the Wallabies at Cardiff in 1947. He scored the only points of his career through a penalty goal against France in the 1948 Five Nations.[1] Continuing with Llanelly for several more years, Williams ascended to the club captaincy in the 1951–52 season. He also competed with Felinfoel, Furnace and Pontyberem during his career.[2]

Williams worked outside of rugby as a furnace hand at the Llanelly Steelworks.[3]
