Williams plays as a wide forward on the 2010B Elite team.

"Layton is a great player, but more importantly, a great teammate," said 2010B Elite Head Coach Charles Collins. "He brings a strong work ethic to every practice and game, and he encourages his teammates to match his energy and enthusiasm for the game. Layton sets the standard for being a well-rounded and high-achieving athlete and is an exceptional leader on and off the pitch."

Layton's father, Taylor, also expressed his pride in his son's achievements, on and off the field.

"Layton has a natural, and frankly impressive ability to push himself, while simultaneously lifting others up around him. This is evident when watching him play soccer, both club and for Ringgold High School, or even when he’s performing on stage. Soccer has been a big part of his life since he could walk. Having played at Redoubt from age 4 - 13, he then came to CFC Academy. He also plays for Ringgold High School, where he received the Rookie (Freshman) of the Year award and Man of the Match for their game against their county rival Heritage High School.

"His talents extend far beyond the soccer field though. He is also commonly found on stage at Ringgold High, as well as having performed in multiple other shows around the Chattanooga area throughout most of his life. He is also a kicker for Ringgold’s football team! All of this and he still manages to make good grades."

Everyone at Chattanooga Football Club celebrates Williams and his tremendous work ethic both on and off the field.
