Jay Williams

Career
Jay worked his way through the Fulham youth set-up and gained his pro contract in the 19/20 season. He was loaned out to Southport to get some experience where he scored and assisted 1 in 12 games. Williams next few years were even more loans, with teams including Hamilton and Wimbledon before being released for the 23/24 season where Coventry came in and signed the 22 year old. He was in the reserves and then was loaned out to Ipswich for the 24/25 season, playing 13 times. He finally got his one and only appearance for Coventry in the 25/26 season but was then released at the end of his contract that year. Gateshead managed to get him on a bosman deal to help gain promotion into the Championship. In the 26/27 season, he played an impressive 41 times, partnering up well with Ryan Astley which secured promotion to Championship along with the Leasing.com trophy to his name. The next year came and there was a lot of competition in the center back position. He still managed 25 games and helped the team reach a safe mid table position. His 28/29 season went okay, he started to fall out of favour in the starting line-up and only made 23 appearances that year. He was placed on the transfer list and a hefty bid of £1.6 million came in from Leeds Utd. This was accepted and the 26 year old moved there after making 89 appearances for the nrth east side.
