Claudia Walker

Claudia Walker signed for Everton Ladies in February 2015 from Merseyside rivals Liverpool.

The young striker, who also lists Stoke City among her previous clubs, was a regular in the Reds' title-winning team of 2014 but made the decision to join Andy Spence’s side ahead of the 2015 WSL campaign.

She became a regular forward, either leading the line or as part of a front three, and top-scored in the 2016 WSL 2 campaign. Another seven goals in nine Spring Series games helped the Blue Girls lift the title.

Previously capped at Under-19 level, Walker has also been a regular in England's Under-23 squad.

She started the 2017/18 WSL 1 season in fine form, netting a stunning 25-yard strike in the 3-2 defeat at home to Manchester City.

Unfortunately, a serious hamstring injury sustained in training ruled her out for the majority of the campaign, limiting her to just nine league and cup appearances.
