Aaron John Williams (born 21 October 1993) is an English footballer who plays for Newport County of League Two. He started his career with Walsall and made a handful of Football League appearances for the club before his release in 2013. Williams is an England C-team international.
Williams was born in West Bromwich, in the metropolitan borough of Sandwell, West Midlands. He grew up in nearby Wednesbury and attended Wodensborough Community Technology College, supporting Birmingham City as a youngster. He joined Walsall as an eight-year-old and later trained with Manchester United (as the clubs had a partnership at the time), but opted to remain with Walsall to stay close to home and get more game time. He eventually worked his way through the ranks at the Bescot Stadium, scoring 22 league goals for the youth team in the 2011–12 season.
He joined up with Redditch United on a work experience loan deal in late 2011 and made his debut in a 1–0 loss to Stourbridge on 26 December. At Redditch, Williams operated as a utility player, notably playing as a centre-back in a January 2012 game against Leamington. The side also looked to utilise his long throwing ability. He played a total of three games for Redditch before signing a one-year professional contract with Walsall ahead of the 2012–13 season.
