Euan Leslie Williams (born 15 January 2003) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for club Gillingham. He has represented both England and Northern Ireland at youth international level.
Williams came through the youth ranks at Charlton Athletic and signed his first professional contract on 10 February 2020.[2] He made his senior debut for the club as a substitute in a 1–0 victory over Milton Keynes Dons in the EFL Trophy at The Valley on 4 January 2022.[3]
On 8 July 2022, Williams signed a new two–year deal with the club, keeping him at The Valley until at least 2024.[4]
On 22 May 2024, it was confirmed that Williams would leave Charlton Athletic upon the expiry of his contract.[5]
On 6 August 2024, Williams joined League Two side Gillingham following a successful trial period.[6] He made his debut for the club in a 3–1 away defeat to Swansea City in the first round of the EFL Cup, in which he was also sent off following a late challenge in the 51st minute.[7]
Williams made three appearances for England under-16s in 2017, making his debut in a 2–0 defeat of Albania on 14 January 2019.[8]
Williams then switched his allegiance to Northern Ireland, making three appearances for their under-19 side throughout 2021. He made his debut for Northern Ireland under-21s as an 84th minute substitute in a 1–3 friendly defeat to Scotland on 22 September 2023.[9]
Williams' manager at the Charlton Athletic Academy Steve Avory has described him as "a skilful midfield player, who’s currently mostly playing in a number 10 role" and "dynamic, energetic, very fit, capable of scoring goals".
Upon signing for Gillingham, Williams described himself as "very high energy, I like to play forward and run forward, I make runs in behind" and "nice, neat and tidy on the ball and I create chances".
