Jonathan Peter "Jonny" Williams (born 9 October 1993) is a Welsh international footballer who plays as a midfielder for Championship club Ipswich Town on loan from Crystal Palace. He has made more than 50 appearances for his parent club and has also played in the Football League, whilst on loan at both Nottingham Forest and Milton Keynes Dons. He was part of the Welsh squad that reached the semi-final stages of the 2016 European Championships.
Williams made his breakthrough into the Crystal Palace first team at the very beginning of the 2011–12 season, after much hype surrounding his performances for the academy and reserve side the previous term. He made his debut on 16 August 2011, coming on as a second-half substitute at home to Coventry City. Just one week later Williams made his full first team debut in the opening game of the 2011–12 League Cup game, at home to Crawley Town. He played 85 minutes, grabbing his first assist and receiving a standing ovation from the home crowd. He scored his first professional goal for Crystal Palace on 13 September 2011, in a match against Wigan Athletic in the League Cup.
Williams suffered a broken fibula in his right leg on 15 November 2011, whilst on U21 international duty with Wales. The injury forced him to miss the second and most of the final third of the season. After three months out he returned to the starting line-up on 19 March 2012 at home to Hull City, playing 71 minutes. Williams only made a handful of appearances after his return from injury, as the coaching staff wanted to give him enough time to rest, enabling him to regain full fitness in time for the start of the new season. He ended the season having played in 18 first team games. On 10 May, Williams signed a five-year contract keeping him at the club until 2017.
