Born in Maceió, Alagoas, Willams was a youth product at Sport Club Corinthians Alagoano, making his debuts as a senior in 2005. On 5 July of the same year he moved abroad, being loaned to Gil Vicente FC.[2]
Willams made his Primeira Liga debut on 27 August 2005, starting in a 2–0 away win against S.L. Benfica.[3] He scored his first goal in the category on 25 September, netting the last in a home success over F.C. Paços de Ferreira that ended with the same scoreline.[4]
On 21 June 2006, Willams was loaned to Paços de Ferreira in a season-long deal.[5] However, after appearing rarely, he signed a permanent one-year deal with Segunda Liga side F.C. Vizela on 26 May 2007.[6]
In 2009, Willams signed a one-year contract with C.D. Trofense also in the second level. He made his league debut for the club on 16 August, starting and scoring the last in a 3–0 home win over A.D. Carregado.[7]
On 29 June 2010, Willams moved to Romania after agreeing to a one-year deal with FC Brașov.[8] His first appearance in the Liga I occurred on 26 July, in a 1–0 success at ASA Târgu Mureș.[9]
Willams returned to Portugal in 2011, and spent two years with Associação Naval 1º de Maio[10] and C.D. Feirense,[11] both in the second tier. He subsequently resumed his career in Campeonato Nacional de Seniores, representing F.C. Famalicão,[12] S.C. Espinho and AD Fafe.[13]
