Ryan Williams (soccer, born 1993)

Ryan Dale Williams (born 28 October 1993) is an Australian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Indian Super League club Bengaluru.

[4] There were initial issues concerning international clearance, with the FFA (Football Federation Australia) failing to release vital paperwork to allow Williams to play,[5] but this was eventually resolved on 12 November.

This cumulated with Williams' making his first appearance with the first-team in a 4–0 win over Havant & Waterlooville, in which he produced a lively display, contributing an assist.

[16] On 31 January 2012, Fulham announced the transfer deadline day signing of Williams from Portsmouth for an undisclosed fee, having impressed during a reserve game against Wolverhampton Wanderers the previous night.

[18] Williams signed for Gillingham in League Two on a one-month loan deal on 14 February 2013[19] but failed to make an appearance for the Kent club before being recalled by Fulham.

[28] However, Williams' first team appearances were soon reduced due to his international commitments[29] and he suffered a groin injury[30] before returned to his parent club.

[36] In June 2022, Williams left Oxford United to return to Australia, joining Perth Glory for an undisclosed fee, signing a three-year contract.

Williams played for the under-20 and under-23 sides, representing Australia at U20 level at the 2012 AFC U-19 Championship in United Arab Emirates[40] and at the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Turkey.
