The central defender signed a permanent deal with the club at the end of the 2007/08 season following a successful loan spell from Stockport County.
The loan move on March 27 followed a day after the 23-year-old made his full international debut for Wales in a friendly international in Luxembourg. The call-up came after Williams lifted the North West Player of the Year Award ahead of the likes of Man United's Cristiano Ronaldo and Liverpool's Steven Gerrard. Since then he has gone on to make a further two appearances for Wales in Iceland and the Netherlands.
His senior career began at Hednesford Town after he was released by West Brom at the age of 16. But he was then allowed to join Stockport on a free transfer on New Year's Eve on 2003.
