'''Simon William Walton''' (born 13 September 1987) is an English former professional footballer. He played in the Football League for Leeds United, Ipswich Town, Cardiff City, Queens Park Rangers, Hull City, Plymouth Argyle, Blackpool, Crewe Alexandra, Stevenage, and Crawley Town. Walton was capped by England at under-16, under-17 and under-19 level.
==Career== ===Leeds United=== Born in Sherburn-in-Elmet, Walton started his career at hometown club Leeds United. He came to attention after being sent off in a pre-season friendly against Valencia in 2004, whilst still just sixteen. He was likened to former Elland Road heroes Alan Smith and David Batty.{{Citation needed|date=January 2008}} He made his competitive debut on 7 August 2004 against Derby County, and went on to score three goals in the 2004–05 season, Leeds' first in the Championship. Walton struggled to break into the first team during the 2005–06 season with his only appearances coming after injuries to Sean Gregan, Shaun Derry, Jonathan Douglas and Gylfi Einarsson.
===Charlton Athletic=== In July 2006 he joined Premier League side Charlton Athletic for an initial fee of £500,000, with clauses that could create a total £1m fee. He quickly moved on loan to get some regular first-team football, moving to Ipswich Town three games into the Championship season on 18 August 2006. Walton scored several important goals for Ipswich before being loaned to another Championship side, Cardiff City, in January 2007. When playing for Cardiff, he was sent off against former club Leeds for two bookable offences.
===Queens Park Rangers=== Walton joined Championship side Queens Park Rangers on 27 July 2007 in a £200,000 deal,<ref name="bbc6919713">{{cite news| title = Gregory lands Addicks midfielder| url = https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/q/qpr/6919713.stm| publisher = BBC|work=BBC Sport| date = 27 July 2007| access-date = 4 August 2007}}</ref> having never played a competitive game for Charlton.
