Playing career
Walton was a St. George lock forward that was graded in 1969. He went on to play three seasons of first grade with the Dragons between 1970-1972. His biggest year was 1971, when he was promoted from reserve grade by coach Jack Gibson to feature in the 1971 Grand Final and he scored a try in that match.[1]
He joined Western Suburbs for one full season in 1973. Walton retired from first grade league in early 1974 after receiving a serious head injury in a trial match. [2]
