Source-derived summary

William de Camargo (born 27 February 1999), sometimes known as just William, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a winger for Spanish Segunda Federación club Lorca Deportiva.

Club career

Born in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, William joined São Paulo FC's youth setup in 2013, after impressing for clubs in his hometown. In April 2017, he moved to La Liga side CD Leganés, after his contract with Tricolor expired.

Initially assigned to the youth setup, William made his senior debut with the reserves on 25 February 2018, coming on as a late substitute in a 5–0 Tercera División away routing of CDF Tres Cantos. His first goal came on 29 April, as he scored his team's first in a 2–2 home draw against CD Móstoles URJC.

On 30 August 2018, after spending the whole pre-season with the first team, William signed a one year loan deal with Ukrainian Premier League side FC Karpaty Lviv. He made his professional debut on 15 September, replacing Maryan Shved at half-time in a 0–1 home loss against FC Vorskla Poltava.

On 2 September 2019, William was loaned to Segunda División B side FC Cartagena for the season. The following 22 August, after helping in the club's promotion to the second division, his loan was extended for a further campaign.

On 14 January 2021, William left Efesé after his loan was cut short, and subsequently moved to Valencia CF Mestalla also in a temporary deal just hours later. On 5 July, he renewed his contract with Lega until 2023, and moved to Deportivo de La Coruña on loan.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “association football player” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q56641626. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1999, 2013, 2017 and 2018.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
