1987 - Owain Fon Williams
Owain Fon Williams was born and raised in Dyffryn Nantlle, North West Wales. He left his hometown in Wales at 16 to sign for Crewe as he chased the dream of becoming a professional goalkeeper.
Owain left Crewe at 21 in search of first team football and found that at Stockport County where he won their 2008-09 player of the year award. Fon Williams had stints at Bury and Rochdale before settling down at Tranmere Rovers where he spent four years and played over 180 matches.
Fon Willaims signed for Inverness on the same day of the club's first ever Europa League match against Astra Giurgiu and made his debut in that game. Owain saved a penalty against Motherwell on his league debut and played all 38 league matches in the 2015/16 season.
Owain was first called up to senior Wales squad in 2009 and has remained a part of it ever since. He made his debut for Wales in 2015 and was subbed on for the final 16 minutes in a 3-2 loss to the Netherlands.
Fon Williams was named in Chris Coleman's Wales Euro 2016 squad alongside the likes of Gareth Bale, Aaron Ramsey and Ashley Williams. Wales made it all the way to the semi-finals of the competition but were knocked out by eventual winners Portugal.
In Feb 2018 he was signed on loan to Indy Eleven in the USA by new Coach Martin Rennie - originally from Thurso.
Owain is a talented artist in his free time and his works can be seen on www.owainfonwilliams.com
2001 - Anthony McDonald
On loan
2001 - Anthony McDonald
He began his career at Hearts, coming through the club’s youth academy to make 25 appearances for the Edinburgh side, scoring once.
This is McDonald’s second time signing for the Caley Jags, he spent half of the 2018/19 on loan at the Caledonian Stadium from Hearts. During his loan period, McDonald played 14 games for the Caley Jags, scoring once. Anthony played for Inverness two years ago from January 25th 2019 until 15th May 2019. He signed again for Inverness until the end of season in February 2021 on a free after having left Cordoba but a serious injury sustained in training has ruled him out for the entire length of his present contract and he was unable to feature in any games in 20/21 season.
Despite his injuries, Anthony was offered an extension to his current contract for season 21/22.
Anthony left Inverness in January 2022 after not featuring regularly and struggling with injuries. Anthony made his return in July during our Premier Sports Group Stage match against Hearts and went on to make 5 appearances for the club this season.
In total across his two spells with ICTFC, Anthony made 19 appearances and scored one goal.
2002 - Lewis Jamieson
Lewis signed on loan from St Mirren for the 2021-2022 season. He has made two league appearances for the Buddies. He has also been on loan at Clyde.
Lewis returned to St Mirren after his loan expired where he was once again loaned out to Clyde. He was used sparingly at Inverness and never really got the breakthrough he possibly deserved after scoring four goals in League Cup games.
2006 - Sam Nixon
Sam played as a trialist against Elgin City in preseason 23/24.
Sam has gone on loan to Forres Mechanics until January 2024 since playing for ICT against Nairn County in the NoS Cup semi-final defeat in October 2023. Loan now extended until end of season 23/24.
Sam has been signed on again for our season of turmoil in League 1 for 2024/2025. Length of contract to be confirmed, presumably 1 year.
The club can confirm that defender Sam Nixon has joined Forres Mechanics on loan from now (3rd August 2024) until January 2025. That loan has now been extended until the end of season 24/25.
Another season signed on for Sam until the end of 25/26.
