Early life

Walker attended Stoneygate School then Oakham School where he played at Fly Half and captained the 1st XV[1] which reached the final of the NatWest Schools Cup in 2011 and ultimately lost to Whitgift School 45-24. Walker played alongside current Scottish flanker Hamish Watson. Walker also played for the England U20 side.[2]

Professional Playing Career

Walker moved from the Leicester Tigers to Harlequin F.C. in 2011 after finishing his A-levels [3] because he had grown unhappy with the Leicester Academy after they had wanted him to leave Oakham to join another closer Leicester school with official links to the Tiger's Academy. Walker was quoted as saying "“I did not think I’d enjoy things if I moved. If you are not enjoying it you are not going to play well, so I stayed at school and joined Quins full-time after I left.".[4] He played for Zebre in 2019-20 Pro14 season.[5] [6]


Walker played for the England 7s in Hong Kong and Japan during the 2013 Circuit.[7]
