Walkington is another fresh face on the team this year and has made a real claim for a first team spot. Drafted in to replace a senior member of the squad for a game earlier on in the season, he has since staked his place in the squad. Starting out at Hull Dockers, Walkington is a very comfortable winger, and if form continues is unlikely to be ousted from the starting 13.

As a KR fan i'm sure he will hate being compared to former FC winger Tom Briscoe, but that is the best comparison I could come up with. Similar builds and playing styles, particularly in defence, with both often hitting the right line in defence, and making try saving tackles when required. Also very capable going forward, and creating the metres, as well as scoring tries.
