Williams is now a fifth-year flanker for the Utah Warriors with nine career tries to date. In 2019 he was selected for the Second Team All-MLR.

The latest of the first eight players to reach 50 caps for MLR includes Holden Yungert of the New England Free Jacks, Nick Boyer of the Houston SaberCats and Moni Tongauiha and JP du Plessis of NOLA Gold.
