Derrick Shaun Williams
Center Back · Reading · season-by-season, by competition, and every match.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
The record covers 6 seasons (2020/21–2025/26) across 5 clubs, including a move abroad — 139 appearances with 7 goal contributions from defence.
His best campaign on record is 2023/24 at DC United — Season rating 27, 1 goal and 0 assists in 24 games. Form has slipped 13 Season points across his last 3 full seasons. The gap to his peak is 13 Season points.
Season-to-season output barely moves — his form has stayed within a tight band (±6 points) across 6 campaigns. Made the jump to a higher division in 2021/22 (Major League Soccer) and kept playing — 21 games that season.
