Bailey Williams Biography

Bailey Williams signs a six-year contract extension with the Eagles to remain at the club until the end of 2032.

"I never really thought of leaving. I've been here for eight years now, drafted out of home at 18 years old and I feel like West Coast is home for me, so I didn't feel the need to look elsewhere," Williams said.

Bailey Williams has rediscovered his best form and says he wants to remain with West Coast despite rival interest.

"I've spent a fair bit of time here now. It's my eighth year and it hasn't all been good times, but there's a young group, young talent, and new coaches around the place, and I'm excited by that," Williams said.

"I reckon this club and this group of lads that we've got here can do some really great things and these last few weeks of footy have shown how good we can be when we're at our best."

Bailey Williams has enjoyed a breakout season in 2023 after grabbing his opportunity as West Coast's No.1 ruck in the absence of Nic Naitanui.

"It might seem like it's happened just like that this year, but it's been a long road for me and a lot of work has gone on behind the scenes. In a way I've been lucky to have this opportunity to get exposure at the level," Williams said.

"Early days, the club were really supportive, and now that I'm stringing games together and finding good form, they're really backing me in. Getting that consistency in the team has been great for my footy."

Bailey Williams makes his AFL debut for West Coast with 8 disposals (4 kicks and 4 handballs), 2 marks, 2 tackles and 8 hitouts in a 27-point loss to Richmond.

West Coast select Bailey Williams with pick No.35 in the 2018 National Draft.
