Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Industrious carrier and defensive anchor

Williams is a high-volume contributor on both sides of the ball, averaging over seven tackles per match alongside consistent carrying duties that suggest a strong-running, physically committed centre. His single-game peaks — 18 tackles and 148 metres — point to the capacity to dominate when given the platform. Across 23 appearances he has built a profile defined by workrate and reliability rather than flashy output.
