Stats
Bio
Selected by North Melbourne with pick 23 in the 2017 National Draft, Will Walker arrived at Arden Street as a promising midfielder-forward from the Sandringham Dragons with a background in soccer. Possessing genuine speed and an eye for goal, he made his debut in late 2018 and quickly impressed with his running capacity, but his progress was halted by a severe PCL injury sustained against Adelaide in just his fourth game. The knee issue sidelined him for the entire 2019 season, and while Walker fought his way back to add two more senior appearances across 2020 and 2021, he was unable to cement a regular spot in the Kangaroos' rebuilding lineup and was delisted at the end of the 2021 season.
