Iñaki Williams Celebrates 10 Years at Athletic Bilbao
Ghanaian forward Inaki Williams is celebrating a remarkable decade at Athletic Bilbao, marking exactly 10 years since his first appearance for his hometown club on Friday, December 6, 2024.
This milestone comes during a stellar 2024-2025 season for Bilbao, who remain unbeaten in eight matches across all competitions. The club’s latest triumph, a 2-1 victory over Real Madrid in La Liga, underscores their strong form.
Williams, now 30 years old, has been a linchpin for Bilbao over the years, amassing an incredible 441 appearances. Remarkably, he has missed just three games in his entire Bilbao career, all due to injury, with none resulting from suspensions.
In the current La Liga season, Williams has been instrumental in his team’s success, contributing three goals and four assists in 15 matches. His performances earned him a nomination for the League Player of the Month award in September.
Reflecting on his milestone, Williams shared his gratitude with fans on his X (formerly Twitter) account:
“10 years fulfilling a dream. Remember where you started and where you are. Thank you all for joining me.”
The Black Stars forward is expected to feature in Bilbao’s next league match against Villarreal on Sunday, December 8, as he continues to build on his legacy at the club.
Williams’ decade-long journey with Athletic Bilbao is a testament to his resilience, loyalty, and remarkable consistency, making him a fan favorite and a symbol of the club’s identity.
