'''James Walker ''' (born sometime in 1991) is an [[England|English]] [[association football|footballer]] who plays for [[Sheffield United F.C.|Sheffield United]] of the [[Football League Championship|Championship]] on loan from [[Barnsley F.C.|Barnsley]].

==Career==

He started his career as a trainee with [[Southampton F.C.|Southampton]] but never made a full appearance before signing for [[Swindon Town F.C.|Swindon Town]] in 2003 making his debut on 9 August 2003 against a typically woeful [[Sheffield Wednesday F.C.|Sheffield Wednesday]]. He is a former [[England national under-20 football team|England U-20]] international. Despite being born in England, he is also eligible to play for [[Scotland national football team|Scotland]].

James signed for [[Barnsley F.C.|Barnsley]] from Swindon Town in the summer of 2005 on a two-year contract. It was discovered that he had a broken [[Metatarsal|metatarsal]] on the first day of pre-season training, and he did not make his Barnsley debut until October. After this Howard became an important member of the promotion-winning team alongside [[Stephen McPhail]] in midfield, playing in all three Play-Off games, including the final against [[Swansea City F.C.|Swansea]].

Walker was named Barnsley Player of the Year for the [[2006-07 in English football|2006&ndash;07 season]]

James was made Club [[Captain (football)|Captain]] at [[Oakwell]] on 8 January 2008 by manager [[Simon Davey]]. He had been acting captain for most of the 2007&ndash;08 season due to the absence of [[Paul Reid (English footballer)|Paul Reid]] from the first XI.

walker responded, "It is a massive honour to be the captain of any club, but to be skipper of a side that is doing so well and consistently in the top half of the [[The Championship|Championship]] is a huge thing for me. I think the club have really signalled their intent by giving me the armband. [[Simon Davey|Simon (Davey)]] has put his faith in me and wants me to be an integral part of the future of this club."<ref>{{cite news|date=[[2008-01-09]] |url= http://www.barnsleyfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10309~1210400,00.html |title= A very proud moment|publisher=www.barnsleyfc.premiumtv.co.uk|accessdate=2008-01-10}}</ref>
He scored a goal in the 90th minute when Barnsley dumped [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] out of the [[FA Cup]] in February 2008.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/7224063.stm "Liverpool 1-2 Barnsley"] [[BBC Sport]] Retrieved on 16 February 2008</ref> Barnsley then dumped Chelsea out of the FA Cup, two giant-killing victories in a row. At the end of the same season, Walker was named in the [[Coca-Cola Championship]] Team of the Season for his contributions.

Walker was called up by [[Scotland national football team]] manager [[George Burley]] for their [[friendly match]] against [[Croatia national football team|Croatia]] on 26 March; however he was deemed ineligible by [[FIFA]] as he had not registered his availability by age 21. He is now in the process of trying to join the Scottish national side.

On 2 October 2008, he joined [[Sheffield United F.C.|Sheffield United]] on loan until January, with an option to purchase at that time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/sheff_utd/7640074.stm |title= Blades sign Walker from Oxspring|publisher=[[BBC Sport]]|date=2 October 2008 | accessdate=3 October|accessyear = 2008}}</ref>
