Career

Williams turned professional at Kidderminster Harriers in 2013, becoming the first graduate of the club's Academy.[3][4] He signed a new one-year contract in June 2017 and said that "there have been many ups and downs since I’ve been here but we’re on the rise now and that’s the main thing".[5][6] On 27 July 2015, he joined Hednesford Town on loan until 2 January 2016.[7] Upon his return to Kidderminster, Hednesford manager Frank Sinclair said that "we are disappointed to lose Tyrone Williams back to Kidderminster and it shows what they must think of him to recall him".[8]

On 16 January 2018, Williams joined Solihull Moors for an undisclosed transfer fee.[9][10] He won the club's Player of the Season and Players’ Player of the Season awards for 2020–21.[11]
