Jason Williams born 23 April 1966 in New Zealand is a former rugby league player.`His position of choice was on the wing. He was a New Zealand international and played at the 1995 Rugby League World Cup.
He was a Christchurch junior who moved to Australia at age 15. He was signed by Western Suburbs at age 21 but after a poor season and a modest start the next year with Easts he spent the 1989 and 1990 seasons playing in the Metropolitan Cup. He made the most of another chance when South Sydney in 1991 offered him a contract and from there he was able to climb to the heights of New Zealand test selection and a continued and successful first grade club career through to 1998.
During is career he played for Western Suburbs, Easts, South Sydney, Canterbury Bulldogs and the Penrith in the New South Wales Rugby League premiership and ARL.
Williams scored an intercept try in the Bulldogs' 1994 Grand Final loss to Canberra and the following year was a member of the side which won the 1995 ARL Grand Final.[1]
