New Mexico United News Release


New Mexico United is thrilled to announce the addition of goal-scoring striker Romario Williams to the club's first team roster, pending league and federation approval. Williams, who is known for his goal-scoring prowess and international success joins United on the back of a successful season with Qadsia FC of the Kuwait Premier League that saw him play more than 1,400 minutes and find the back of the net five times.

"Romario has the ability to score goals and create chances in a lot of different ways," said United Head Coach/Technical Director Zach Prince. "He adds another layer in our ability to attack. Not only are we bringing in a talented player, but a phenomenal person, as well. His attacking and defensive characteristics will fit in really well with our attacking group. We are excited for Romario to be in New Mexico."

Williams has vast experience at several levels domestically and abroad. After earning first team all-conference honors as a college player at the University of Central Florida, the Jamaican striker was drafted third overall by the Montreal Impact of the 2015 MLS SuperDraft. After spending his first season in Canada, Williams joined the Charleston Battery, where he played alongside United Head Coach/Technical Director Zach Prince, midfielders Justin Portillo and Mike Azira, and goalkeeper Alex Tambakis.

After scoring 25 goals over two seasons for Charleston, Williams joined Atlanta United in 2018, playing stints for the MLS side, and the USL Championship side over the next two seasons, before playing one season for the MLS's Columbus Crew. In 2020, he returned to the USL Championship - scoring eight goals in just 16 matches for The Miami FC, before traveling overseas where he played the 2020-2021 season for Ittihad Alexandria in Egypt and the 2021-2022 season for Qasdia FC in Kuwait.
