Ashley Errol Williams (born 23 August 1984) is a professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Championship club Bristol City and is the captain of the Wales national team. After being released from West Bromwich Albion as a teenager, Williams played for non-league side Hednesford Town before turning professional at Stockport County in 2003, later becoming their captain.
In March 2008, he was loaned to Swansea City, and after helping them win League One title, signed for a then club record £400,000.
He amassed 352 appearances for the Swans, scoring 14 goals.
He aided them in their promotion to the Premier League and their victory in the 2013 Football League Cup Final.
In August 2016, he signed a three-year contract with fellow Premier League side Everton for a fee of £12 million.
Williams was a regular in his first season at Goodison Park but eventually fell out of favour and he spent the 2018–19 season on loan at Stoke City.
After being released by Everton, Williams signed a short-term deal with Bristol City in August 2019 which was extended in November of that year. Born in England, Williams qualifies to play for Wales through his maternal grandfather.
He made his debut for them in March 2008 and has since earned over 85 caps.
He captained the team at UEFA Euro 2016 where the Dragons made it all the way to the semi-final.
