OVERVIEW
Walker began 2014 on a high, re-signing with the Blues for an additional three years. Approaching his 12th season at Carlton, the move effectively secures him as a one-club player.
Unfortunately the 28-year-old’s season was cut short in mid-July due to a lingering knee injury. The good news is that Walker is well on the road to recovery and looking forward to a solid pre-season.
