Williams – Swansea's record buy – was speaking after playing a full part in the Swans 0-0 draw against West Brom at the Liberty yesterday – a performance that could see him propelled into the starting line up against Charlton at the Valley next weekend.<\/p>\n
And that is one of the things that Williams struggles to believe as the last twelve months have seen him leap from a League Two player to a Championship player and a regular Welsh international to boot.<\/p>\n
But it has not always been that way as Williams reveals that he used to do a host of part time jobs to pass the time when his football career was just starting.<\/p>\n
Speaking in today's News of the World, William said "I did various jobs from working in a theme park, helping out at the local bowling alley to working as a waiter.<\/p>\n
"They were jobs to kill the time because all I wanted to do was play football.<\/p>\n
"But of course at times when you are serving food in a restaurant it does cross your mind that you will be doing this for ever. I do have to pinch myself at times and realise I'm very lucky as lots of players don't come back up from non-league.<\/p>\n
"I could never dream I would be playing in the Championship along with international football so quickly. It's been a bit of a whirlwind but I'm loving every minute.<\/p>\n
"I'm confident in my ability. The gaffer wouldn't have bought me if he didn't think I could do it. I've never played at this level before – I don't know the players and they don't know me.<\/p>\n
"It may be a bit of a learning curve but I've just got to put the work in. I'm not going to be scared by strikers in the Championship."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
