He's a good, young up-and-coming player. He reads the game very well, he's very strong and gets in his tackles. We just want him to focus and keep his head because we see him as one for the future.

-Jamaica coach Theodore Whitmore speaking about Dicoy Williams, 16 November 2009[1]

Williams started his career in the youth ranks of Jamaica's Santos FC. He also went on to play for the youth teams of Arnett Gardens FC and Harbour View FC.

After impressing with Harbour View FC Williams went on trial with Norwegian Division One side Mjøndalen IF during the 2010 season.[2]

In early March 2011 Williams continued to explore overseas options going on trial with Major League Soccer side Toronto FC.[3] He impressed coach Aron Winter and was signed by Toronto FC on 31 March 2011.[4] Two days later Williams made his debut for Toronto as a second half sub for Nana Attakora in a 1–1 home draw against Chivas USA.[5] On 19 July 2011 Aron Winter confirmed that Williams would miss the remainder of the 2011 season. On 20 June 2012 Williams made his return from injury as a second half sub for Danny Koevermans in a 3–3 away draw to Houston Dynamo.[6]

Williams was released by Toronto on 15 November 2012.[7]

Dicoy returned to Harbour View in 2013.[8]
