Josh Williamson (born 14 June 1994) is a Scottish footballer who currently plays for Manchester United. He started his career at Kilmarnock and was part of the 2014-15 team that won the league and cup double. He has also had loan spells at Turkish side Bursaspor and Dutch giants Ajax.

Kilmarnock
Aged 13, Williamson signed his first pro youth contract with Kilmarnock after impressing at his local boys club Stewarton Annick.

After years in the youth teams, Williamson was given his first start and debut against Udinese in a friendly in August 2014. During the 2014-15 season, Williamson became a crucial first team member of the Kilmarnock side that won the league and cup double, the first time in the club's history. He played 40 times that season scoring 30 goals and was the Scottish Premiership Golden Boot winner.

After on only one full season in the Kilmarnock first team, Williamson handed in a transfer request saying he felt that "it was a good time to move on". On 2 June 2015, Williamson signed for Manchester United for £8 million.

Manchester United
After a very impressing season in Scottish football with Kilmarnock, Williamson signed for Manchester United on 2 June 2015. He said "it's a dream come to true to play here (Manchester United) as I supported them as a boy and I can't believe this chance has come".

Bursaspor Loan Spell
On 29 August 2015, Williamson signed for Turkish side Bursaspor on a season-long loan to keep up his match fitness. He made his debut in a league match against Basaksehir on 13 September 2015. The game finished 2-0 with Williamson setting up the first goal. His first goals came in his 4th appearance in an away league match against Mersin in which he scored 2 of the 3 goals in a 3-0 win. Williamson described them as "one was the scrappiest goal and one was one the best goals I've ever scored". On 30 October during a a league match against Galatasaray, Williamson suffered a shoulder injury early in the game. He managed to play the rest of the first half but was substituted at half time with fears he may have dislocated it. Scans later revealed he had only bruised his shoulder and he would be fit again in 5 days. He was fit enough to start the next game against Trabzonspor in which Williamson played 84 minutes setting up both goals in a 2-0 win. However, on 12 December 2015 during a league match against Fenerbahce, in which Williamson scored a penalty, Williamson suffered Anterior Cruciate Ligament damage which sidelined him for five months. Williamson made his return on 30 April 2016 in a match against Sivasspor in which he scored the only goal in a 1-0 victory, his 6th for the club. Williamson played his final game for Bursaspor on 21 May 2016 against Basaksehir, the same side he made his debut against, in a 2-0 win in which Williamson set up both goals. In total, Williamson played 16 times for Bursaspor scoring 6 goals and gaining 13 assists.

Ajax Loan Spell
On 31 January 2017, Williamson signed with Ajax on a loan deal until the end of the season. He made his debut on 12 March 2017 in a Eredivise match against ADO Den Haag that ended 3-0 with Williamson setting up the first goal. His second appearance merited his first goals in a 6-0 away win against FC Utrecht in which Williamson scored 2 and set up 1. Williamson was awarded the Man of the Match for his performance in this game. Williamson's third appearance came against FC Twente who were at the time level on points at the top of the table with Ajax. The game finished 2-0 to Ajax with Williamson setting up both goals. This win gave Ajax a 3 point lead in the league table. Williamson's fifth appearance was in the last game of the season against PSV with the title being decided. After going 1-0 down, Williamson scored in the 78th minute to level the match and win the league for Ajax. That goal was Williamson's third for Ajax. Williamson's final appearance for Ajax came in the KNVB Cup final against FC Twente. The game finished in a 5-0 win for Ajax with Williamson scoring two goals and setting up another two. In total, Williamson played 6 times for Ajax scoring 5 and setting up 7.

International Career
Williamson made his international debut against Czech Republic in a Euro 2016 Qualifying match on the 10th September 2014. He scored his first international goal on 21 March 2015 against England at Wembley Stadium in a Euro 2016 Qualifier. Controversy erupted when Williamson was left out of the Scotland squad that went to the 2018 World Cup. Williamson said "I just don't understand, maybe it was because I never play for Manchester United, I don't know.".
