Gifton Noel-Williams made the majority of his career appearances in England's lower divisions but did play three times during Watford's ill-fated 1999-00 Premier League campaign. He later had spells with Stoke and Burnley before a journeyman-esque end to his career which included stints with Real Murcia, Elche, Millwall, Austin Aztek and Codicote.
