Tyler Walker

Nottingham Forest

2014–15 season

Walker made his professional debut for Nottingham Forest in the Championship as a substitute for Chris Burke in the 92nd minute of a 2–0 win over Rotherham United on 18 March 2015. Walker's first professional goal followed on 7 April in a 2–2 draw with Brentford at Griffin Park after he entered the game as a first-half substitute, on only his fourth first-team appearance. He signed a four-year contract with Forest in June 2015.

Owing much to a shortage of strikers and manager Dougie Freedman's willingness to give youth an opportunity, Walker played some games at the beginning of Forest's 2015–16 season. This included a start in the League Cup, a 4–3 defeat by Walsall at the City Ground on 11 August; a game in which he scored his second goal in professional football. On 24 March, 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. Walker made his Burton debut four days later as a half-time substitute in a 2–0 defeat at Millwall. In 'The Brewers' following game on 2 April, he came off the bench to score an injury-time equaliser in a 1–1 draw with Bury at the Pirelli Stadium. He returned to Forest at the end of the season having made six appearances for Burton Albion, scoring one goal.

Walker is the son of former Forest and England defender Des Walker and elder brother of former Queens Park Rangers striker Lewis Walker. He is of Jamaican descent through his father.
