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 whose senior career has come to be shaped mainly by Dundee United. He had early first-team exposure at Barnsley, making three league appearances in the 2017-18 season, but that was only the start rather than the substance of it.

Dundee United has been the serious body of work. Walton has made 81 league appearances for the club across three seasons, a spell long enough to move him beyond the usual short-term goalkeeping traffic. He wears the number 1 shirt, and in 2026-27 has made nine league appearances and five in the League Cup.

His current market value is around £425,000, according to Transfermarkt. Walton’s career is still a developing one, but its main shape is clear enough: a Barnsley start, then a far more substantial run at Dundee United.
