About Andy Williams

Born 1986. Andy Williams is a British association football player.

Yeovil Town In May 2010, Williams rejected a new deal with Bristol Rovers and signed a two-year contract with fellow League One side and local rivals Yeovil Town, he linked up with them on 1 July 2010. On 7 August 2010, Williams made his debut for Yeovil against Leyton Orient, and scored his first goal for the club against Rushden & Diamonds in the FA Cup, and scored his first league goal in a 3–1 defeat against Dagenham & Redbridge the following week. Williams first season with Yeovil saw him score eight goals in 39 matches mostly operating from the wing.

He started the new season well with a goal in a 3–1 win at home to Oldham Athletic before being out injured for over a month. However, once he had returned from injury he scored again, this time in a 3–0 win away at Hereford United in the FA Cup. Williams ended the campaign as Yeovil's top scorer with 17 goals in all competitions but rejected a new contract to remain at the club.

Swindon Town Having rejected Yeovil's offer of a new contract, on 18 June 2012, it was confirmed Williams had signed for newly promoted League One side Swindon Town on a two-year contract.

Return to Yeovil on loan On 23 August 2013, Williams rejoined Yeovil Town on a season long loan deal, only 14 months after previously leaving for Swindon Town. Williams made his second debut for Yeovil as a second-half substitute against Derby County, on 24 August 2013. Williams made a total of nine appearances without scoring before picking up serious cruciate injury in training ruling him out for the rest of the season. Despite being ruled out with injury for the rest of the season, due to the loan agreement with Swindon Town, Williams remained officially on loan at Yeovil for the remainder of the season, with Yeovil still having to pay a portion of his wages.

Doncaster Rovers On 19 June 2015, Williams signed for Doncaster Rovers on a three-year deal, despite interest from several other clubs including Bradford City, Scunthorpe United, Sheffield United and Millwall. On 27 August he scored his first professional hat-trick in a 4–1 win over former club Yeovil Town. He was released by Doncaster in May 2018.

Cheltenham Town In July 2020, he signed for Cheltenham Town, on a one-year deal. Following Cheltenham's title-winning campaign, Williams triggered a clause to sign a new one-year deal with the club. On 6 May 2022, Williams was released by the club after not being offered a further contract.

Walsall On 15 June 2022, Williams agreed to join Walsall on a one-year contract, active from 1 July when his Cheltenham contract expired. He only managed 3 goals in 46 appearances across all competitions, being released at the end of the season.

Return to Hereford On 6 June 2023, Williams agreed to drop down two leagues and enter part-time football by joining National League North club Hereford from 1 July, when his Walsall contract expired. Born in Hereford, Williams' career had begun at Hereford's predecessor club Hereford United 18 years previously. Williams suffered a knee injury in pre-season that required surgery and caused him to miss the first five months of the season. He made his debut for the club on 23 December 2023, coming on as a 73rd minute substitute for Tom Pugh in a 2–1 home league win against Spennymoor Town. He scored his first goals for the club three days later, including a 99th minute winner, in a 3–2 win away at local rivals Gloucester City. After scoring 11 goals in 23 games by the end of the season, on 3 May 2024, Hereford announced that Williams had signed a contract extension until the end of the 2024–25 season.

During the 2024–25 season, Williams appeared in all but two matches, scoring 10 goals in 48 appearances across all competitions, as Hereford finished 10th and missed out on the play-offs by one point. On 8 June 2025, he extended his stay at the club for a further year. He retired from football at the end of the 2025–26 season, aged 39, after scoring 31 goals in 121 appearances for Hereford.
