Williams began his career with Stirling Albion, where he exploded onto the scene as a teenager, scoring 21 times in 61 appearances, and being linked to moves with British footballing giants, such as Spurs and Charlton.[1]
Williams headed to Greenock Morton in 2002 for £50,000, where he scored 39 goals, before heading on a short loan spell to Queen of the South.
In Summer 2005, Williams joined Clyde, and made an instant impact, scoring 3 minutes into his début against Brechin City in the Scottish Challenge Cup. Williams finished as Clyde's top scorer that season, scoring 13 league goals.
Williams moved to Australia in Summer 2006, and joined Armadale. This only lasted a few weeks, as he later returned to Scotland to join Ross County. He only played a handful of games for County, as injury disrupted his time there.
Williams then joined up with old team Clyde in January 2007, when he was re-signed after playing as a trialist in a series of matches. Williams' contract with Clyde expired in May 2007. It was not renewed, and he subsequently left the club.
He joined Ayr United in July 2007 and proved a hit with the Somerset Park faithful, scoring plenty goals for the club, including two tremendous strikes away to Raith Rovers in the 07/08 season. In the 08/09 Scottish Cup, he ensured his place in Ayr United history by scoring a last minute equaliser against local rivals Kilmarnock to earn a replay and much needed cash boost for the club.
On 8 June 2009, his contract with Ayr was terminated by mutual consent, and he subsequently signed for Dundalk in the League of Ireland, where he scored on his début.[2]
Williams signed for St. Patrick's Athletic in January 2010. Alex scored on his St.Pat's debut vs Wexford Youths FC in a pre-season friendly, the Saints won 3-0. In late June 2010 his club contract was terminated by mutual consent,[3] and on 22 July he joined Stenhousemuir on a one year deal.[4] He was released at the end of the 2010-11 season along with 11 others.[5]
