Local boy Walker has come through PNE's academy and made his first-team debut as a 16-year-old against Aston Villa at Deepdale in December 2018.

When he came on as a substitute against Villa, he became the youngest player to appear for North End in a league game.

This season, Walker was a second-half substitute in the 4-0 win over Bradford City in the Carabao Cup.

He signed a professional contract with PNE in October while still a second-year scholar.
