Playing career

[edit | edit source]

Walker was signed by the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks to play for their S. G. Ball Cup side, before moving into their National Youth Competition side in 2014.[4] On Australia Day in 2015, he was arrested for verbally abusing police and resisting arrest, having been initially approached by authorities for possessing alcohol in an alcohol-free zone.[5] In May 2016, he admitted to using recreational drugs and was banned from playing by the Sharks for 12 weeks.[6] Walker played 14 NYC games for the Sharks between 2014 and 2016.[7]

Walker was selected to represent Italy at the 2017 World Cup qualifying tournament in late 2016. He played in all 3 of Italy's matches, scoring a try against Russia.[8] In 2017, Walker played for the Sharks' feeder team, the Newtown Jets, in the New South Wales Cup. Walker scored a try for Italy in their 24–24 draw against Malta on 8 October,[9] and was a member of Italy's squad for the 2017 World Cup.[10]

In November 2017, Walker signed a one-year contract with the Penrith Panthers for 2018.[11]
