Richard Walker, born 17 September 1980 in Stafford, is a professional footballer playing as a defender for Macclesfield Town.
Richard started his career at Crewe playing 101 league games and scoring 6 times before signing for Port Vale in 2006. He made 16 league appearances for Port Vale in the 2006/07 campaign and also scored in the Carling Cup win over QPR. However after a number of poor displays he fell down the pecking order.
Richard moved on loan to Wrexham towards the end of the 06/07 season. His wages were donated by Craig Bellamy to try to help save the club from relegation to the conference. His second season at Port Vale was largely dogged by a bad knee injury and ended in him being released in the January window to look for a new club.
Richard played for Shrewsbury's reserves in early March 2008 but as yet nothing as materialised from this as Shrewsbury were in the process of appointing a new manager.
Walker then signed for Macclesfield on a deal until the end of the season.
