Walker was aged 16 and 156 days at the time, becoming the youngest player to turn out for PNE in a league game.

In August's Carabao Cup win at Bradford City, Walker came on as a substitute in the 80th minute.

Earlier this season, Walker signed his first professional contract with North End having come through the club's academy.
