Donald Roland "Roley" Williams (10 July 1927 – 30 June 1999) was a former Welsh professional footballer.Williams was playing Welsh league football for Milford United when he was spotted by Cardiff City manager Cyril Spiers.
A number of clubs were interested at the time, including his home town club Swansea Town, but he signed a contract with Cardiff in February 1949.
Despite suffering numerous small injuries during his seven years at the club, he quickly became a regular in the side providing numerous chances for the club's prolific striker Wilf Grant to score 26 goals during the 1951-52 season.
His injuries meant he never played a full season for the club and in 1956 he was allowed to leave and join Northampton Town.
His spell at the club was brief and he moved into non-league football with Bath City and Lovells Athletic before retiring.
