Inaki Williams has celebrated a decade-long career at Athletic Bilbao, marking a significant milestone in his football journey. The Ghanaian striker, who was born in Spain, reached his tenth anniversary at the Basque club on December 6, 2024, having made his first-team debut exactly ten years ago.
Williams has become an integral part of Bilbao’s history during his time at the club. Over the past decade, he has made 441 appearances for Los Rojiblancos and scored 105 goals, placing him as the 14th all-time top scorer in the club’s storied history.
His consistent presence on the field is remarkable, with the 30-year-old missing just three games in the past nine years due to injury or suspension.
Reflecting on his journey, Williams took to social media to share his gratitude. “10 years of making a dream come true. Don’t forget where you started from and where you are.
Thank you all for joining me,” he wrote. His passion for the club and its supporters has made him a beloved figure in Bilbao.
One of the standout moments in Williams’ career came last season when he helped guide Athletic Bilbao to the Copa del Rey title, ending a 40-year wait for the prestigious trophy.
The club triumphed over Real Mallorca in the final, further cementing Williams’ legacy at the club.
This season, Williams has continued to deliver on the pitch, already scoring three times in La Liga as Bilbao pursues a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League.
Williams’ dedication to Athletic Bilbao reflects not only his exceptional talent but also his unwavering commitment to his hometown club.
As he celebrates this milestone, the future looks bright for the striker, who remains one of the key figures at Bilbao.
