Jack Walton

Jack Walton of Dundee United was born on 23 April 1998 (age 28).

Jack Walton, born on 23 April 1998 (age 28), is an English goalkeeper with Dundee United. His current market value is around £425,000, according to Transfermarkt.

Walton’s early league involvement came with Barnsley, where he made three league appearances in 2017-18. That part of his career is a footnote beside what has followed at Tannadice, where he has found the regular football that shapes a goalkeeper’s standing.

At Dundee United, Walton wears the No 1 shirt and has made 84 league appearances across three seasons. In 2026-27, he has added 12 league appearances and five in the League Cup, giving him 17 outings in all competitions for the season.

His career is a straightforward one so far: limited early exposure at Barnsley, then a far more substantial spell with Dundee United. That is where the bulk of his senior football has been played.

Walton is 28 and plays as a goalkeeper; his career includes spells with Luton Town, Preston North End, Cambridge United and Dundee United across permanent moves and loans. The trajectory features repeated loan activity and successive undisclosed transfers – notably a loan to Dundee United in July 2023 and a later undisclosed move from Preston North End to Dundee United in July 2026 – reflecting a career built around short-term moves and club changes rather than long uninterrupted spells.
