Looks like he got a half with SC Freiburg in a recent friendly:

Der SC Freiburg spielte mit: Pouplin (46. Salz); Cha (46. Mujdza), Williams, Butscher (46. Barth), Olle Olle (46. Rathgeb); Banovic (46. Abdessadki), Makiadi (46. Schuster), Sirigu (46. Targamadze), Glockner (46. Roth); Jäger (46. Bechmann), Idrissou (46. Reisinger).

And:

Dafür tauchten neben den fünf Neuen (Manuel Salz, Du-Ri Cha, Stefan Reisinger, Cédrik Makiadi und Mensur Mujdza) zwei gänzlich neue Gesichter unterhalb des Batzenbergs auf: Daniel Williams aus der Regionalliga-Mannschaft des Sportclubs durfte sein Können zeigen – und das auch noch als einziger Akteur über 90 Minuten. Der engagiert auftretende Williams verdankt seinen Einsatz der Tatsache, dass der SC nach Topraks Unfall noch einen oder zwei Abwehrspieler sucht, diese auch im Visier, aber noch nicht verpflichtet hat.

However, unless there is another guy with that name in Germany, he may also have played with SG Rot-Weiß Neuenhagen in an earlier match:

Für Neuenhagen spielten: Florian Rudolph; Frank Sommer, Johannes Müller (75. Riccardo Hopf), Johannes Wirth, Philipp Sterna, Robert Herold, Toni Dunkel, Nils Kriwanek, Sven Stepputat (75. Daniel Williams), Mathias Gursche, David Pergamenter.

So he may be on the move. He was not on Freiburg's pro team this past season, so I presume he's looking for a deal and first-team action somewhere (though he's relatively young, still an 89).

Also -- since I don't see Gabriel Hoyos in the Freiburg lineup above, will try to see if there's a story there.

Must be someone else. Neuenhagen play in the 9th division.

There are a bunch of pictures of Daniel in the match reports for SC Freiburg II. Looks like he is a solid starter for the team since returning from injury against Weiden.

As Smithfan pointed out in the gameday thread, he is getting his Bundesliga debut right now against Stuttgart. It is live on GolTV in the US and here is a stream that seems to be working

[Namdynamo]

Here is his info provided by Smithfan http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showp...0&postcount=2:

Name: Daniel Williams
Club: SC Freiburg
Date of birth: 08.03.1989
Age: 20
Height: 1,80
Nationality: Germany / USA
Position: Defensive Midfield, Centreback, Fullback

A 20 yrs old starting in the Bundesliga? I say cap him now!!!

Also, can the mods change the title of this thread to Daniel Williams at SC Freiburg.

Has this kid played for Germany at any level or is he worth getting excited about?

[Dave Marino-Nachison]

This is actually quite a surprise, at least to me. At the beginning of the season, Williams was with the second team and -- I believe -- not a professional. Apparently he's had a good year.

He has some interest in playing for the U.S. I don't belive he's spent any meaningful time with the German YNTs.

Well then, without any further ado (not Adu or Edu) allow me to say....

CAP HIM!
