Move To Rugby Union and Return To Rugby League
On 6 June 2006, it was announced that Walker had signed for the English rugby union team Bath RFC, and would join the club from the end of the Rugby League season in November 2006. England's union coach, Brian Ashton, identified Walker as a player with international potential when he helped to sign him in his previous role at Bath but the 24-year-old centre struggled to settle after moving south from Leeds on a two-year contract, and made only eight Premiership starts.
Walker was linked with a return to rugby league with various clubs before signing for Hull Kingston Rovers in September 2007.
