Career
Club
Williamson, the son of former Pars defender Andy Williamson[2] started his career aged 8 at Rothes Juniors Boys Club before joining Celtic as a 12 year old. He left the Bhoys after two seasons joining Dunfermline Athletic in 2010. His first appearance for the Pars came as a substitute against Arbroath in August 2013,[3] and in November of that year he made his full first team debut in a 3–1 home win against Brechin City.[4] After establishing himself in the first team, Williamson went on to make a total of 22 appearances in the 2013–14 season. The following two seasons were marred with injuries. After first dislocating his kneecap[5] against Stirling Albion[6] which forced him out until the end of February 2015, he then fractured his leg against Forfar Athletic in August 2015.[7] This injury saw him miss the majority of Dunfermline's Scottish League One winning season although after recovering and playing in the final four matches of the season, he was rewarded with a two-year contact extension, keeping him at East End Park until summer 2018.[8]
International
Ryan attended the Scotland U18 training camp in December 2013.
