Walker was born at Belfast in September 1891.[1] The son of a Queen's University music professor,[1] Walker was educated at the Royal Belfast Academical Institution, before going up to Queen's University.[1] He played his club cricket in Belfast for Cliftonville and Queen's University Cricket Club, before moving to Dublin in 1913 to study at Trinity College.[1] Playing his club cricket in Dublin for Dublin University Cricket Club, Walker found himself called into the Ireland team in 1913 for their annual first-class match against Scotland, played at Edinburgh.[2] Despite being a bowler, he did not bowl in the match,[1] and in his one batting innings he was dismissed for 3 runs by Donald McDonald.[3] He did not feature for Ireland after this match.[1] Walker died at Bangor in January 1968.[1]
