The English star is an extremely fast full-back whose claim to fame came after brilliant displays of defending prowess combined with unreal speed. Due to his awareness and speed, he is extremely hard to get past, making it very tough for wingers to play against him. He has shut down some of the best and fastest attackers in the world with his defensive skills. This article talks about Kyle Walker’s net worth and the salary he earns while playing for Manchester City.
Kyle Walker started his football career by joining the youth academy of English football club Sheffield United. He joined them at a very young age in 1997 and spent over a decade developing with the youth academy, honing his skills and getting better. Walker progressed through the ranks to become a regular in the reserve team by 2008. In November 2008, he was allowed to join League One club Northampton Town on a one-month loan to gain first-team experience.
The one-month loan was later extended to January 2009 before he returned to United, having played nine matches for Northampton. Soon after returning to United, Walker made his first-team debut on 13th January 2009 against Leyton Orient. His performances quickly caught the eye of English Premier League team Tottenham Hotspur, who decided to make a move for the English defender. Walker left the club having made just seven first-team appearances for Sheffield United in all competitions.
