He made his first known appearance on Saturday, 5th December, 1896, in a 4-1 win at home to Port Glasgow Athletic in the SFL Second Division. William scored his only known goal for Thistle on Saturday, 19th December, 1896, in a 2-1 friendly win at home to Vale of Leven. That goal came in his second (and last known) appearance for the club.
