Following his recovery, Williams was given the number twenty-one shirt[13] and competed for the first choice goalkeeper with Ben Williams, but failed to start and spent the most of the season on the substitute bench.[14] Tired of the lack of first team appearances, Williams was offered a new contract, but the negotiations was stalled[15] and left Crewe in July 2008 for a tribunal set fee.[16]

Forster was kept in goal for six games throughout October and into early November before his loan spell expired and Williams returned to his Number One slot. Until the middle of March, Williams was ever present for County, putting in match winning performances. On 30 March, Williams underwent an operation on his shoulder which kept him out for the remainder of the 2008–09 season.[20] Despite making thirty-three appearance, Williams, nevertheless, was awarded Stockport County's Player of the Year.[21] His performance saw also him being linked with a move to Premier League side Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United and the club may sell him, as they faced financial problems.[22]
