Last updated : 08 February 2004 By Site Staff
Walton was at the Alex for 6 years between 1997 and 2003. He made 161 appearances in a Alex shirt but when his contract ran out in the summer he made the move to Derby County.

With the nickname Stitch aswell as Sicknote he has ironically only made three starts for Derby - because of injuries. Walton is currently returning from his latest injury to help him get over it he is joining Stockport on a months loan.

Walton isn't the only former Alex player to make the move to Stockport this season, Shaun Smith had a month there, onloan from Hull, earlier this season whilst Wayne Collins spent a few months on a pay-as-you-play contract.
