Willmott began his career at Luton Town, before a move to Wimbledon alongside teammate Kelvin Davis. He returned to Luton on loan in 2002/03, and was all set to return on a Bosman transfer in the summer of 2003 as well as fellow loanee Sammy Igoe.

However, the take-over and subsequent dismissal of the Luton management team saw Willmott join Northampton Town instead, where he scored once against Cambridge United.[1] In the summer of 2005, Willmott joined Oxford on a free transfer from Northampton. 'Motty' missed the majority of the 2007/08 season through a knee injury. It is not known when he will return.

He was released by Oxford United at the end of the 2008/09 season. Willmott has signed a two-year contract with Southern League Premier Division side Brackley Town. Willmott played for Conference North team Oxford City where he was vice-captain.
