After scoring 131 goals in 130 league games in the Welsh league, Williams joined Torquay and ironically made his debut for them against Hartlepool...and scored a hat-trick. After seeing Williams in action, Hartlepool manager Chris Turner signed him in 2002.
Williams went on to become a Hartlepool legend, finishing Hartlepool's top scorer in 2002/03, 2003/04 and 2005/06. Williams was named in Mark Hughes Wales squad in May 2004 but had to pull out due to injuries. Two years later Danny Wilson requested that Eifion be once given his chance for Wales.
Eifion Williams was released by Hartlepool in 2007 after 5 years of the club. Williams has written his name in Hartlepool history.
