Khyan Frazer-Williams

A pacey and athletic full-back, he is known for his ability to impact the game at both ends of the pitch.

The 17-year-old arrived in South London following a successful trial in March.

Frazer-Williams previously applied his trade for AFC Dunstable, where he played senior football in Step Four of the English football pyramid – a rare feat for a player of his tender age.

During his time there, he featured primarily as a left-back and left wing-back, helping the side to a mid-table finish in the Southern League Division One Central. He also represented Varsity Nine’s Football & Education Programme throughout last season.

Before stepping into senior football, Frazer-Williams spent his formative years with Watford’s Academy, progressing from the Under-9s through to the Under-16s.

Comfortable driving forward into attacking areas, delivering crosses, and taking on defenders in 1v1 situations, he also takes pride in his defensive responsibilities – making him a reliable presence on the flank.

His standout qualities include dribbling, recovery speed, and strong positional awareness in one-on-one duels.

Inspired by the likes of Jeremy Frimpong and Cristiano Ronaldo, Frazer-Williams models his game on players who combine physical intensity with technical excellence and values work ethic, discipline, and dedication on and off the pitch.

After arriving at Palace over the summer of 2025, Frazer-Williams quickly adapted to Academy football and became an increasingly important member of Javier Alonso's Under-18 side. He finished the campaign with 26 appearances in all competitions and was a near ever-present during the latter stages of the season.

The full-back started 11 of Palace's final 13 matches, underlining the trust placed in him by Alonso during a crucial period that included important league fixtures and cup ties.

Reflecting on his first season at the club, Frazer-Williams acknowledged the progress he made after a challenging start.

"The start of the season was disappointing for me in terms of game time and performances," he said. "But since the new year, especially over the last couple of months, I feel like I've been playing well and getting myself into the team. It's been good to contribute and help the team pick up points."

His strong finish to the campaign highlighted both his resilience and potential, providing an encouraging platform heading into the 2026/27 season.

Now enjoying his first full season at Under-21 level, Frazer-Williams will be looking to build on that progress and make his mark at the next age-group up.
