Having been part of Middlesbrough's FA Youth Cup winning team of 2003–04, Walker made his first team debut, scoring the final goal in a 4–2 friendly victory over Carlisle United in July 2005. His league debut came on the last game of the 2005–06 season when Middlesbrough fielded a team largely filled with academy graduates in a 1–0 defeat to Fulham.[1]
