Club career edit
Walker started the 2010 season on a dual registration loan from Wigan Warriors to Blackpool Panthers, but only made one appearance for them before being recalled by Wigan Warriors to make his début in the home defeat by Harlequins.[2] He made no further appearances for Wigan, and joined Barrow Raiders in 2011 on another dual registration deal.[3] He signed for Batley Bulldogs in 2012.[citation needed]
Walker was forced to retire after failing to recover from a series of head injuries suffered during his first season at Batley.[4]
