Marc Lloyd-Williams has spent most of his 16 year playing career in his home country of Wales, but has enjoyed time in England with Halifax, Stockport, Altrincham and York City. He is currently the highest ever scorer in Welsh football.

Lloyd- Williams started his career with Porthmadog in 1992 and spent two years there, scoring 28 goals in 75 appearances before moving to Bangor City. It was another prolific spell for the striker as he hit 21 goals in just 29 games.

These exploits in Wales led him gaining a move to England and he signed for Division Two side Stockport County in March 1995 for £10,000.

He found the net much harder to hit in the mother country however and scored just once in 18 appearances at Edgeley Park and he lasted just a year before moving on to Altrincham and then back to Wales with Colwyn Bay. He failed to appear for either team and so returned to Bangor in August 1997.

It was like Lloyd-Williams had never been away as he found his shooting boots back at Farrar Road, scoring 31 times in 58 games. Despite it being clear that Bangor was where he performed best, he still couldn't resist when Halifax came calling in September 1998.

Town were in the Third Division at the time and Lloyd-Williams scored six times in 24 games in 1998-1999 to help the Shaymen to a 10th place finish, five points off the play-offs. He was on the move again though and after a short loan spell with York between March and May 1999 where he scored four times in 11 appearances he moved to the Minstermen permanently that summer, despite them getting relegated from the Second Division.

He remained at Bootham Crescent for over a year, but their first season back in Division Three for seven years was disappointing as York finished 20th. Lloyd-Williams bagged five goals in a further 21 games.

By now the 27 year old was yearning for a return home, and Bangor were calling again. He didn't disappoint. In a further year and a half spell between January 2001 and July 2002, Lloyd-Williams scored an incredible 66 goals in 58 appearances! 47 of those goals came in the 2001-2002 season and he would have won the European Golden Boot, but the fact Wales is so far down in FIFA's co-efficient rankings meant that Sporting Lisbon's Mario Jardel got it even though he "only" scored 42 goals.

Lloyd-Williams tried his luck again in England in July 2002 when he signed for Conference side Southport. His move back to England came about because Bangor wanted to cut his wages. Inevitably his last stint in England wasn't a success. Lloyd-Williams scored just three times in 18 matches in 2002-2003 and Southport were relegated to the Conference North and he was inevitably back at Bangor in that summer, scoring 10 goals in 17 games.

It was in the summer of 2003 that Lloyd-Williams decided to try his luck at another Welsh side, Aberystwyth. It was another prolific year as he scored 18 times in 23 games, before moving to TNS in 2004.

His scoring prowess was again in evidence as he bagged 60 goals in 67 games during a two year spell before incredibly he moved for a fifth stint at Bangor. He was there throughout 2006-2007 where he scored 19 times in 30 appearances.

This was to be his last stint with his hometown club (to date) and he moved to Newtown in 2008. He scored seven times in 13 appearances but before the year was out he moved back to his first club, Porthmadog and at the time of writing has bagged 11 goals in 13 games.

Lloyd-Williams is definitely a legend in Welsh football and during his career he has won two Welsh Premier titles, two Welsh Premier Cup winners medals, and has won the Welsh Golden Boot twice.
