Professional Playing Career

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.".
He played for Zebre in 2019-20 Pro14 season.
Ahead of the 2020-21 RFU Championship Season, Walker signed for Ealing Trailfinders, a team he had briefly signed for on loan before breaking into the Harlequins first team.
