Scarborough Athletic Sign Striker Stephen Walker From Whitby Town

Tuesday, 4 February 2025 10:45

Walker is Whitby's leading scorer this season, scoring 14 goals, and is available for Boro's match tonight.

The front man has been signed for an undisclosed fee.

The 24 year old, who progressed through Middlesbrough's Academy, has opted to sign for Scarborough Athletic after interest from other National League clubs.

The former England Youth International has also played in the Football League for MK Dons, Crewe Alexandra and Tranmere Rovers whilst with his hometown club, before joining West Auckland in the Northern League, where he gained the attention from Whitby Town in 2023.

He also made a first team appearance for Middlesbrough in the Carabao Cup.

Describing himself as a passionate and hardworking forward, who likes to get in behind the defence, he will be a welcome boost to Jono's side for the remainder of the season and beyond.

Scarborough Athletic say:

'We are delighted to welcome Stephen to Scarborough and would like to thank Whitby Town for their cooperation with the transfer.'

Stephen is available for selection for tonight's fixture with Radcliffe.
