Mark Williams (born September 28, 1970 in Stalybridge, Cheshire) is a former football (soccer) defender. He started his career at Newtown, then moved to Shrewsbury Town and after 3 seasons with the Shrews moved to Chesterfield. In 1999 he was signed by newly-promoted Premier League side Watford. However, at the end of the season the Hornets were relegated outright, in bottom place with just 24 points and Williams moved to another relegated side Wimbledon. Although an integral part of the team in his first season, he lost his place and was loaned out to Stoke City for the 2002/03 season. After Wimbledon's relocation to Milton Keynes he stayed with the new team and spent his last season of football with Rushden and Diamonds. On international level Williams played for Northern Ireland between 1999 and 2005 and won 36 caps, scoring once [1].
He also had a spell with Major League Soccer team Columbus Crew in 2003, playing 5 games.[2]
