U18 Player of the Season
Crystal Palace, 2024/25
Seb Williams was part of Dave Cooper’s Under-15 side that finished runners-up in the U15 National Floodlit Cup final against Sunderland in 2021/22.
He captained the Under-16s in 2022/23 before earning his scholarship ahead of the 2023/24 season.
Williams made his breakthrough at Under-18 level during that campaign, scoring his first goals in November 2023.
The first came in a 5-2 win away at Tottenham Hotspur, followed by another in a 2-1 home victory over West Bromwich Albion. He also struck late on to help 10-man Palace secure a 3-2 win against Aston Villa in the U18 Premier League South in December.
He made his Under-21 debut in March 2024, coming on as a substitute against Southampton, and finished the 2023/24 season with 31 of a possible 32 appearances for the Under-18s, contributing five goals and three assists.
Williams began the 2024/25 season as Under-18 captain and remained a near ever-present figure, scoring his first goal of the campaign away at Arsenal in November. In April 2025, he netted his first Under-21 goal, scoring the fifth in a 5-2 comeback win over West Ham United.
He ended the 2024/25 season with five goals and three assists from 24 Under-18 appearances, along with a further five Under-21 appearances and his maiden goal at that level. His performances saw him voted Under-18 Player of the Season by his teammates, before signing his first professional contract in June 2025.
Williams made 23 Under-21 appearances in 2025/26, scoring twice and registering one assist in his first full season at that level. Both goals came in standout moments, with superbly struck half-volleys against Juventus in the Premier League International Cup and Fulham in PL2, the latter ending Fulham’s 13-game unbeaten run as Palace pushed towards the play-offs.
A composed and influential midfielder, Williams became a key figure in Darren Powell’s side, consistently helping progress play and playing an integral role in runs to the Premier League 2 quarter-finals and Premier League International Cup quarter-finals.
