Jason Walker (born 21 February 1984) is an English semi-professional footballer who plays as a striker for National League North club Chorley. He previously played for Dundee, Greenock Morton, Morecambe, Luton Town and York City, Östersunds FK, Forest Green Rovers, Southport and Barrow.
Born in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, Walker grew in Flookburgh and attended Cartmel Priory School. He was playing for Cartmel in the North Lancashire and District Football League at the age of 16 when he was spotted by a Dundee scout. He signed for the Scottish Premier League team's youth system on a two-year scholarship straight from school after playing three games on trial. He then had two years on a professional contract before being released in May 2004 with the club in administration, bringing to an end four years with Dundee. He subsequently joined Scottish Second Division side Greenock Morton in July 2004. He left the club and signed for Conference National side Morecambe in January 2007 after training with the team. He scored in the 90th minute on his first team debut, a 5–0 victory at home to Mangotsfield United in the FA Trophy second round on 13 January 2007, after entering the match as a 65th minute substitute. Following the game, manager Sammy McIlroy said "Jason took his goal really well. He could be a good asset for us".
