Across 25 United Rugby Championship appearances, Walker's output is defined overwhelmingly by his defensive work, averaging over five tackles per match and totalling 131 across the dataset — a volume that points to a prop used heavily as a defensive resource. His carrying numbers are modest in frequency and gain, reflecting a role where ball-carrying is secondary to set-piece and defensive duties. When called upon with ball in hand, however, his best individual performances show he is capable of meaningful bursts, with single-game peaks of 8 carries and 16 metres demonstrating that the ceiling is higher than his averages suggest.
