David Joel Williams (born 26 February 1988) is an Australian international football (soccer) player who plays as a striker for Haladás in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I.
Born in Brisbane, Williams played youth football at the Queensland Academy of Sport before making his professional debut for Brisbane Roar. In 2006, he moved to Denmark, playing for Brøndby for three years before returning to Australia to play for North Queensland Fury. After spending time on loan at Sydney FC, Williams joined Melbourne City (then Heart) in 2011.
Williams has represented Australia on two occasions.
Born in Brisbane, Australia, Williams started playing football for amateur clubs Westside and Pine Hills, before moving to play youth football for Mitchelton FC. He attended Northside Christian College while also being a member of the Queensland Academy of Sport (CAS) squad.
He spent time training with Belgian club Club Brugge, as well as defending UEFA Champions League winners Liverpool F.C., and in January 2006, he signed for Australian A-League side Queensland Roar for the remainder of the 2005–06 season. Queensland Roar coach Miron Bleiberg called Williams the best Australian prospect since Australian national team player Harry Kewell, and he was labelled the best young Australian striker by the former technical director of the Australian national team Ron Smith. Following two games as a substitute for Roar, he moved abroad in May 2006 to play for Danish team Brøndby IF on a three-year contract.
