He beat the previous record held by former Real Sociedad defender Juan Antonio Larranaga. Larranaga played for Sociedad between 1980 and 1994. Larranaga and Williams are the only two players to make over 200 consecutive appearances in La Liga as well.

As noted by Transfermarkt, Williams has now made 276 appearances in La Liga over the course of his career.
