Recognised as one of the most decorated full-back's in the world and regarded one of the best defenders in Premier League history, Burnley's latest signing Kyle Walker arrives at Turf Moor with 18 pieces of silverware, 420 Premier League appearances and 96 England caps to his name.
Take a look at Scott Parker's newest signing's career in pictures right here.
- Born in Sheffield, Walker progressed through the academy at Bramall Lane and went on to make his first team Blades debut in January 2009, before then facing the Clarets at Wembley in the Championship play-off final later that season.
- The summer of 2009 saw Walker sign for Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur, but the young full-back was instantly loaned back to the Blades for the upcoming season. The defender was however recalled by Spurs in January 2010 and went on to make his debut for the North London club against Portsmouth at White Hart Lane.
- After further loan spells with QPR and Aston Villa across the 2010/11 campaign, Walker's breakthrough season with Spurs followed the season after. The right-back started in the opening day fixture at Manchester United, before then scoring the winning goal in his North London derby debut against Arsenal in October 2011 with a fantastic long-range strike.
- Walker's impressive appearances in the Premier League for Spurs caught the eye of then England boss Fabio Capello, who handed the right-back his Three Lions debut in November 2011 against Spain at Wembley, coming on for his now Head Coach, Scott Parker.
- After six consecutive seasons as Tottenham's first-choice right-back, making over 220 appearances, Walker departed London in the summer of 2017 to sign for Manchester City. At the time, the defender became the most expensive defender in English football history, joining for a fee worth more than £50m.
- After making his debut on the opening day of the 2017/18 season against Brighton & Hove Albion, Walker went on to feature 48 times in all competitions in his first season, as City won the Premier League title, the first of six for the defender.
- Walker's first involvement in a World Cup then arrived in 2018, as the full-back played in all of England's fixtures in Russia, which saw Gareth Southgate's side reach the semi-finals of the competition.
- In his second year in Manchester, his first FA Cup arrived in 2019, as City lifted the prestigious English trophy, alongside the Carabao Cup and another Premier League trophy in the same season.
- Arguably the most iconic and memorable campaign of all for Walker was the 2022/23 season, as Pep Guardiola's side won the Premier League, UEFA Champions League and FA Cup.
- Walker's final trophy with City was achieved in May 2024, as the full-back won the Premier League title for a sixth time during his eight year spell in Manchester, which saw him win 18 trophies during a hugely successful period.
