James Luke Newton Walker (born 25 November 1987) is a football striker who plays for English Isthmian League Premier Division club Canvey Island.
Walker was released by Charlton in 2006, but was invited back on a trial by new manager Iain Dowie during pre-season, and he impressed by scoring against Millwall, Germinal Beerschot and Hibernian, earning a new one-year contract.
He has loan spells with Hartlepool United, Bristol Rovers (where he scored his first career goal against Boston United),Leyton Orient, Notts County and Yeovil Town. He is a former England under-18 international.
On 23 November 2006, Walker joined Leyton Orient on a two-month loan deal. He scored with his final touch for the club in a 5–2 away win against Millwall on 20 February 2007. He joined Notts County on loan in March 2007 and later joined Yeovil Town on a three-month loan in October 2007.
After returning in January 2008, he was close to joining another League One side, Southend United, for £200,000. However, the move was cancelled after he was discovered to have an irregular heart rhythm after he failed a medical. The following month he was signed on loan by Southend, and scored on his debut against Bournemouth.
