Kenney Walker

LA Galaxy and loans

LA Galaxy selected Walker in the second round (No. 38 overall) of the 2012 MLS SuperDraft. Galaxy coach Bruce Arena spoke positively of Walker, telling reporters, "He is a defensive midfielder, a holding midfielder, an aggressive type of player and a good passer of the ball." Walker made his debut for Galaxy on May 26, 2012, against Houston Dynamo. He only played one half, however, and did not have another appearance for the rest of the season. In 2013, Walker logged no minutes with the Galaxy, and spent the latter half of the season on loan in the North American Soccer League (the second-division U.S. league at the time). On July 26, Walker was loaned to Florida-based Fort Lauderdale Strikers. He only had one appearance for them though, as he was loaned to Carolina RailHawks just a month later on August 22. He spent the remainder of the season in North Carolina, where he made 11 appearances. Walker began to see more action with Galaxy in 2014 and 2015, earning 7 starts and 16 appearances across the two years. He also spent significant time playing for LA Galaxy II, Galaxy's newly-formed reserve team in the United Soccer League. Walker debuted in Galaxy II's inaugural match against PDL side Fresno Fuego on February 13, 2014. Walker would go on to start in 14 of 16 appearances for Galaxy II over the following two years.
