Tom Williams is a Cyprus international footballer who plays primarily as a defender, but he can also play in midfield. He has made nearly 300 appearances in the Football League playing for numerous different clubs. Williams was born in Carshalton, London. His professional career began with West Ham United in April 2000 when he joined the club from Walton & Hersham for a fee of £40,000.
He went on loan to Peterborough United in March 2001, without having made his senior debut and the move was made permanent during the summer. He stayed with the Posh for one season, before moving to Birmingham City for a fee of £350,000. His career stalled at St Andrew's, playing just four games for Birmingham, and, after two loan periods at Queens Park Rangers, he rejoined Peterborough United, initially on loan, later joining permanently. In May 2004 Williams went to Barnsley on a free transfer. He played a full season for the South Yorkshire side, before moving again on a free transfer to Gillingham in July 2005, and then signing for Swansea City in January 2006 after the Gills suffered financial problems. He returned to the side in December 2006 after a hernia operation in November. He was released by the club on 7 May 2007. On 27 July 2007, he joined Wycombe Wanderers on a two-year deal. On 31 December 2007 Williams joined Peterborough United for the third time, initially on an emergency loan to make him available for the match on New Year's Day, for which he was an unused substitute. The loan was converted to a two-year permanent deal two days later. On 14 February, he joined League One side Walsall on a deal until the end of the season. In August 2011, Williams played one match in the Conference for Kettering Town, a 3–0 defeat away at Mansfield Town.
He signed for Notts County in August 2012 on a short-term deal, and was released in January 2013 when his contract expired. Williams qualifies for Cyprus through his mother, and has one international cap to date, which came in 2006.
