Jack Walker signs for Sheffield Eagles

17/01/2025

Sheffield Eagles are delighted to announce the signing of former Betfred Super League Grand Final winner Jack Walker. 

The 25-year-old full back joins the Eagles on a rolling monthly contract, and he comes straight into contention for Sunday’s pre-season trip to Doncaster.

Walker debuted for Leeds Rhinos in 2017, marking the occasion with a hat-trick against Doncaster in the Betfred Challenge Cup. That same season, he became the youngest player to win a Super League Grand Final at just 18 years of age, after playing in their win against Castleford Tigers at Old Trafford.

Over the course of five seasons with the Rhinos, Walker made 75 appearances and scored 22 tries. He had a loan spell with Hull FC in his final year with the club, where he contributed two tries in six games for the Black and Whites, before he departed Leeds in 2022 to join Bradford Bulls in the Betfred Championship. 

After a brief time at Bradford in 2023, Walker returned to Super League with Hull KR mid-season where he scored 5 tries in 10 appearances at the back end of that season. 

Most recently, he re-joined Hull FC, where he played 14 games across the total of the 2024 campaign.

Check out our social media accounts for Walker's first club interview tomorrow morning.  

Interested sponsors for Jack in 2025 are encouraged to contact the club via phone on 0114 398 1998 or email Mark.Aston@sheffieldeagles.com.
