Jacques Roger Williams (born 25 April 1981) is an English-born professional footballer who played for Birmingham City in the Football League as a midfielder.
Williams was born in Liverpool but grew up in France. He started his football career in the youth system at Bordeaux, and played for the Bordeaux junior side which won the French under-18 championship. At the age of 18 he came to England together with fellow French youngster Trésor Luntala, and following successful trials, both players joined Birmingham City on free transfers before the 1999–2000 season. Eligible to play international football for both England and France, Williams represented England at under-18 level. He made his first-team debut for Birmingham in August 2000, playing one game in the League Cup and then three Division One games, but his development was interrupted by the need for a hernia operation. Though he recovered sufficiently to resume playing reserve team football, scoring the goals which put the team into the semifinal of the Birmingham Senior Cup, a spate of injuries meant that those four games were all he played for Birmingham's first team before being released when his contract expired.
He had a trial at Crewe Alexandra, on the recommendation of former assistant manager Brian Eastick, then Academy Director at Birmingham, but no contract ensued.
