Round 15 Anytime Fitness Men’s Rising Star: Josh Walker
The VAFA congratulates Josh Walker from Collegians who has received the Anytime Fitness Rising Star nomination for Round 15. Josh has not missed a beat this season playing every match. He has scored a total of 17 goals and had a breakout performance in the Lions’ win over Uni Blues on the weekend where he was featured in the best for the sixth time.
What the club said:
We were thrilled to land Josh Walker in the off season. Josh was a Collegians boy, excelling in junior footy and playing well at NAB league level. He is a well rounded sportsman, also being a star junior batsman in cricket.
Josh’s improvement throughout the year has been profound. He is very competitive, and also possesses a high level of class and skill that compliments his hardness.
He started out as a wing/forward but has now progressed into an on-ball role. He’ll still go forward at times, and regularly hits the scoreboard.
Josh has a very exciting future ahead of him, and we look forward to seeing his continual growth.
