Iñaki Williams reaches 400 Athletic Club appearances

Iñaki Williams has joined a select group of 20 Lions with 400 or more official appearances for Athletic Club. After playing in our LaLiga Matchday 17 fixture against Atlético Madrid at San Mames on Saturday, the 29-year-old striker further enhances his legacy in Athletic's history.

Since making his debut nine seasons ago on 6 December 2014 in a league match against Córdoba at The Cathedral, the elder Williams brother has been a regular in Los Rojiblancos' starting XIs.

For example, he established a record of 251 consecutive LaLiga appearances, surpassing now second-placed Juan Antonio Larrañaga on 1 October 2021. The streak began on 20 April 2016, with a match against Atlético Madrid in Bilbao, and ended on 22 January 2023, almost seven years later.

Iñaki has become an Athletic icon over the past ten years, gifting us many memorables moments. But one stands out above all others, the goal which won us our third Spanish Super Cup.

He has netted 94 times between LaLiga, the Copa, the Europa League and the Supercopa, and is already in Athletic's top-20 all-time goalscorers.
