context_page_description: Chris Walker is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played in the 2000s and 2010s. A Queensland State of Origin representative winger, he played his club football in the National Rugby League for the Brisbane Broncos, South Sydney, Sydney Roosters, Melbourne Storm, Gold Coast Titans and Parramatta. Walker also had a stint in the Super League for French club Catalans Dragons. He is the younger brother of fellow professional NRL players Shane Walker and Ben Walker. At one point in the late 1990s all three brothers were playing together for the Brisbane Broncos.
context_section_description: In November 2006, it was announced that he had been given a trial with the Gold Coast Titans. In early March 2007 after a series of strong performances in pre-season trial matches with the Titans, Walker signed a one-year deal with the Gold Coast club.  In the first NRL premiership game for the new club Walker scored two tries, but then broke a bone in his hand early in the second half. 
  In April, 2007, while sidelined with injury, Walker was reported to have been ejected from a bar after for "bad behaviour". The Gold Coast Titans suspended him as a result and it was later revealed that Walker had been suffering from alcoholism and an anxiety disorder. After a period of rehabilitation and several games in the Queensland Cup, Walker returned to the NRL in Round 19 against Canterbury.
  In 2008, Walker suffered a season-ending ruptured Achilles tendon for the second time in five months. In 2009 he attracted interest from Super League clubs, but said he did not want to play in Europe and he would prefer to stay in the NRL with a Queensland team.
