Inaki Williams

Inaki Williams Arthuer (Basque: [iɲaki wilians̺]; Spanish: [iˈɲaki ˈwiljans]; born 15 June 1994) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Athletic Bilbao.

Club Career

Early life and progression

Born in Bilbao, Biscay to Ghanaian parents (who reached Spain by crossing the desert on foot and jumping the Melilla border fence), Williams spent most of his childhood living in Pamplona, specifically the Arrotxapea neighbourhood, and was playing youth football with local CD Pamplona when he was spotted by Athletic Bilbao, who signed him to their youth setup at Lezama at the age of 18. He spent his first season with the Juvenil A side and made a big impression, scoring at the rate of almost a goal a game (eventually ending with 36); the team finished runners-up in the Copa del Rey Juvenil de Futbol, and on 25 June 2013 he signed a new contract with the Basque club, running until 2017.

Williams began 2013–14 playing with CD Basconia, the farm team who competed in Tercera Division.
