AFLW career

Carlton selected Walker with their second pick, and twenty-eight overall, in the 2020 AFL Women's draft.

She played 31 games over four seasons before being delisted at the end of the 2023 season.

Walker then signed with Greater Western Sydney but suffered a knee injury before the 2024 season, ruling her out for the entire year. [5] She made her debut for the Giants really in the 2025 season.
