Thomas Ivory Williams III (born August 15, 2004) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a defender for Orlando City in Major League Soccer.[3]
As a member of the Orlando City academy since 2015, Williams played 84 games and scored 8 goals across multiple age groups in four seasons with the team.[4]
In March 2020, Williams signed an academy contract with Orlando City B, Orlando City's USL League One affiliate, ahead of the 2020 season.[5] He made his debut on August 7, 2020, playing the full 90 minutes during a 2–0 win over New England Revolution II.[6]
Having spent the first part of the 2021 season with the club's under-17 academy team, Williams was signed to an MLS homegrown contract by Orlando City on June 15, 2021, guaranteed through 2024, with a club option in 2025. Aged 16 years, 304 days, he became the club's youngest first-team signing, surpassing the record set by Tommy Redding in 2014. Williams had trained with the first-team during the previous two preseason camps.[7]
