Career

In January 2020, Williamson, a product of the Rangers youth system, signed a new contract with the club extending his stay until the summer of 2021.[2]

On 13 January 2021, Williamson joined Arbroath in the Scottish Championship,[3] after agreeing a one-year contract extension until 2022. Williamson made his professional debut three days later in a draw with Queen of the South.[4]

On 12 July 2021, Williamson signed a new two-year contract with Rangers and then moved to Livingston on a season-long loan.[5] This loan would be cut short in January 2022, and Williamson would immediately be sent on loan to Scottish Championship side Raith Rovers for the remainder of the season.[6]

On 15 July 2022, Williamson would sign an extension with Rangers which would keep him at the club until 2024, and then joined Scottish Championship side Dundee on a season-long loan.[7] He would make his debut for the Dark Blues in an away win over Stranraer in the Scottish League Cup.[8] Williamson would score his first goal for Dundee in a 3–0 win over league leaders Queen's Park on 28 January 2023.[9] Williamson would come on as a substitute and help seal a win on the final day of the league season over Queen's Park which clinched the Scottish Championship title for Dundee.[10]

On 18 July 2023, Williamson joined Scottish Championship club Partick Thistle on a loan until January 2024.[11] He made his first start later that same day in a Scottish League Cup group stage win away to Dundee United.[12]
