NRL career

Sam has played 18 first grade matches for the raiders and has scored 2 tries. Sam made his NRL debut for the Canberra Raiders against the Cronulla Sharks in round 1 of the 2011 NRL season due to an injury sustained by then Canberra Raiders first choice halfback Matt Orford. Williams impressed on his debut with a strong all round performance that earned him the man of the match award. In round 6 of the season Orford was again ruled out through injury, giving Williams another opportunity in first grade, in this game against the North Queensland Cowboys Williams was sent to the sin bin for a professional foul. Later in the season Sam managed to cement his spot as the first choice number of seven.
