Club career
Tottenham Hotspur
Walkes began his career with Tottenham Hotspur, joining the club in July 2013.[1]
He made his first team debut on 21 September 2016 in the EFL Cup against Gillingham, coming on as a substitute in the 80th minute in a 5–0 victory.[2] Walkes appeared three times as captain in the group stage of UEFA Youth League, including twice against Bayer 04 Leverkusen.[3]
The following year, on 27 September 2017, he signed a two-year contract extension with the club, keeping him until 2019.[4] After his loan spell at Atlanta United, Walkes returned briefly to the reserve side before being loaned out again.[5]
Loans
On 26 January 2017, Walkes joined Major League Soccer club Atlanta United ahead of the club's inaugural season.[6] Walkes made his Atlanta United debut, in the opening game of the season, coming on a late substitute but scored an own goal shortly after, in a 2–1 loss against New York Red Bulls.[7] Despite his own injury concerns and initially starting out on the substitute bench,[8] Walkes quickly regained his first team place for the side, establishing himself in the right-back position.[9] He then scored his first goal for the club on 5 July 2017, in a 4–2 win over San Jose Earthquakes.[10]
On 1 August 2017, his loan spell with Atlanta United was extended until the end of the season.[11] He continued to regain his place for the rest of the season.[12] Walkes then scored his second goal for the club on 14 September 2017, in a 7–0 win over New England Revolution.[13]
At the end of the 2017 season, Walkes went on to make 20 appearances and scoring 2 times in all competitions and returned to his parent club.[14] Reflecting at his time at Atlanta United, he said his loan spell there helped push on for first team football.[15]
Walkes signed on loan for Portsmouth in January 2018.[16] He quickly made an impact at Portsmouth when he scored on his debut, in a 2–2 draw against Doncaster Rovers on 3 February 2018.[17] Since making his debut for the club, he established himself in the starting eleven at a right-back position.[18] This lasted until early April when he suffered a hamstring injury that made him miss the rest of the season.[19] Despite this, Walkes went on to make 12 appearances and scoring once for Portsmouth. At the end of the 2017–18 season, he returned to his parent club.[20] Tottenham announced that the move to Portsmouth was made permanent on 18 July 2018. [21]
Portsmouth
On 18 July 2018, Portsmouth announced they had signed Walkes on a two-year deal with an option on a third year for an undisclosed fee.[22][23]
Atlanta United
On 9 January 2020, Walkes returned to Major League Soccer club Atlanta United, three seasons following his loan with the club.[24] He made his club debut on 18 February in the CONCACAF Champions League against Motagua, starting in the 1–1 draw.[25]
Charlotte FC
On 14 December 2021, Walkes was selected by Charlotte FC in the 2021 MLS Expansion Draft.[26]
Personal life
Born in England, Walkes is of Jamaican descent.[27]
