Jason Paul Williams (born 23 April 1966 in Christchurch, New Zealand) is a former professional rugby league footballer of the 1980s, and 90s. A New Zealand national representative winger, he played his club football in Australia for Sydney's Western Suburbs Magpies, Eastern Suburbs Roosters, South Sydney Rabbitohs, Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, and Penrith Panthers as well as in England for Salford. Williams played 145 games in the Australian competition from 1987–88 and 1991–98, scoring a total of 63 tries and winning the 1995 ARL Premiership with the Bulldogs. Williams played in 12 test matches for New Zealand between 1991 and 1995, scoring one try. He played in one non-test international on the 1993 Kiwis tour against Wales and two World Cup matches (1991, 1995).He now has 5 sons
Jason Williams was a Christchurch junior who moved to Australia at the age of 15. He was signed by the Western Suburbs Magpies for the 1987 NSWRL season, but after a poor season which saw only 2 tries in just 7 games, Williams was released by the Magpies and he was signed by the Eastern Suburbs Roosters for the 1988 season. His time with the Roosters was similar to his season at Wests, playing only 8 games and scoring just a single try.
Following the season, Williams spent 1989 and 1990 playing in the Metropolitan Cup. He made the most of another chance when the South Sydney Rabbitohs offered him a contract for 1991, going on to play 16 games and scoring 12 tries for the season. His performances on the wing for Souths saw him make his test debut for New Zealand against Australia at Olympic Park in Melbourne for the first test of the 1991 Trans-Tasman Test series, the Kiwi's upsetting the Aussies 24-8. He played all three tests of the series, won 2-1 by Australia
