Jimmy Williams (birth unknown – death unknown) was an English professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1920s. He played at club level for Featherstone Rovers (Heritage № 13), as a goal-kicking, i.e. number 6.[1]
Jimmy Williams was born in Featherstone, Wakefield, West Riding of Yorkshire, England.[2]
Williams made his début for Featherstone Rovers on Saturday 27 August 1921, and he played his last match for Featherstone Rovers during the 1928–29 season,[3] he appears to have scored no drop-goals (or field-goals as they are currently known in Australasia), but prior to the 1974–75 season all goals, whether; conversions, penalties, or drop-goals, scored 2-points, consequently prior to this date drop-goals were often not explicitly documented, therefore '0' drop-goals may indicate drop-goals not recorded, rather than no drop-goals scored. In addition, prior to the 1949–50 season, the archaic field-goal was also still a valid means of scoring points.
Williams's benefit season at Featherstone Rovers, shared with Arthur Haigh, took place during the 1928–29 season.
