Athletic Club striker Iñaki Williams made his 300th appearance for the Lions in Saturday night’s LaLiga Santander clash with Real Mallorca at San Mamés. The 27-year-old footballer joins an exclusive list of just 45 Athletic players who have been involved in 300 or more matches for the club.
Williams made a starting debut for Athletic on December 6 2014 at San Mamés in a LaLiga match against Córdoba.
Eight seasons later, the striker has now reached the milestone of 300 appearances, something that only Oscar de Marcos and Iker Muniain have also achieved in the current first-team squad. What’s more, in that time the no.9 has scored a combined total of 68 goals in LaLiga, the Copa del Rey, the Europa League and the Spanish Super Cup.
Breakdown, by competition, of all the official matches Williams has played for Athletic Club:
- 238 in LaLiga
- 30 in the Europa League
