Tyler J. Andrew Walker (born 17 November 1996) is an English professional footballer who plays for Nottingham Forest as a forward.

Club career

Nottingham Forest

Walker made his professional debut for Nottingham Forest as a substitute for Chris Burke in the 92nd minute of a 2-0 win over Rotherham United on 18 March 2015.[2] He scored his first professional goal in a 2-2 draw against Brentford at Griffin Park as a first-half substitute, in only his fourth first-team appearance.[3] On 2 June 2015, 18 year-old Walker signed a four-year contract with Nottingham Forest.[4]

Owing much to a shortage of strikers and manager Dougie Freedman's willingness to give youth an opportunity, Walker played a number of games at the beginning of Forest's 2015–16 season. This included a start in the League Cup against Walsall on 11 August; a game which witnessed his second goal in professional football.[5] On 24 March 2016 Walker joined League One club Burton Albion on loan until the end of the 2015-16 season, where he would link-up with former Forest striker and Burton manager Nigel Clough.[6] Walker made his Burton debut on 28 March 2016 as a half time substitute in a loss at Millwall.[7] In Burton's following game on 2 April, Walker came off the bench to score an injury-time equaliser at home to Bury.[8]

International career

On 5 September 2015, Walker made his debut for the England under-20s and scored a brace in a 5-0 win over the Czech Republic.[9]

Personal life

Walker is the son of former Forest and England defender Des Walker[10][11] and elder brother of Derby County striker Lewis Walker.[12]
